A morning walk in Manhattan
An ideal morning walk passing through beautiful parks, breathtaking architectural buildings, and many places to enjoy a cup of coffee or have breakfast. We started our walk from Chelsea park, just off The High Line - an almost 2.5 km linear park which used to be a rail road. Once you complete the walk at The High Line, head over to Chelsea Market, a large food hall/shopping mall. Head off to Fotografiska Musuem as you pass through the historic Union Square. Up next on our route, is the iconic Flatiron Building - another must-see attraction of New York City and Manhattan. Finally, head over to the Madison Square Garden - home of the New York Knicks NBA team - as you pass through the Madison Square Park.

The High Line is a 1.45-mile-long (2.33 km) elevated linear park, greenway and rail trail created on a former New York Central Railroad spur on the west side of Manhattan in New York City. The High Line's design is a collaboration between James Corner Field Operations, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, and Piet Oudolf. The abandoned spur has been redesigned as a "living system" drawing from multiple disciplines which include landscape architecture, urban design, and ecology. The High Line was inspired by the 4.7 km (2.9 mi) long Promenade plantée, a similar project in Paris completed in 1993. — Wikipedia
