Walking Tour – Down the High Line – Former Path to Hell!

What a meat market! Join me for a colorful Prowl through Manhattan’s gorgeous new park, where drug addicts, prostitutes and gay/transgender life flourished in the years before its magical renaissance in the early 2000s. We’ll have a colorful discussion about the industrial, architectural and social history of this pulsing artery traversing sought-after neighborhoods that restored or replaced former rail yards, food markets, slaughterhouses, and dark recesses that accommodated the seamier side of life. Join our parade of peeping Toms as we peer through glass facades at area occupants who willingly reveal their lives to this public promenade. We will learn how the High Line’s history still shapes its future, while becoming familiar with Hudson Yards, Chelsea, the Meatpacking District, and prominent old and new buildings nearby.

Tour meets on the High Line at the 26th Street Viewing Platform, Stair Access from 26th just west of 10th Ave.

Tickets MUST be purchased in advance and will not be sold day of tour. Other tours available as well. See www.ProwlerNYC.com or contact [email protected].
