Dave just came back from a week's vacation in New York, where his brother opened a new restaurant. He declared the High Line, a linear park along the old elevated train tracks on the West Side of Manhattan, a "perfect park" for the city (first photo). The people, the views, the fabulous American smoke trees....a must-see if you're headed that way.
The temporary art installation atop the Metropolitan Museum of Art consists of thousands of pieces of bamboo tied together with nylon ropes. It's an evolving show animated by the artists and rock climbers building it, along with the visitors walking through it. A special tour takes you 20-40 feet above the roof. The Empire State Building might give you a bigger view, but it can't replicate the sense of being high in a forest rustling and moving in the breeze.View from the Roof Garden, below.
