Walking Tour: PRIDE! Down the High Line, Former Path to Hell!

What a meat market! Join ProwlerNYC for a colorful Prowl through Manhattan’s gorgeous linear park, where drug addicts, prostitutes and gay/transgender life incubated in the years before it was transformed 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.

This 2 hour tour begins atop the High Line at the seating area for the 26th St. Viewing Spur – ascend stairs on north side of 26th Street, just west of 10th Avenue.

Tour ends at the High Line and Gansevoort St., near the Whitney Museum of American Art. Email [email protected] for additional inquiries or ticket purchases post deadline.
