These are some pictures from us on the High Line. It was very busy & there wasn’t much stopping & enjoying. Next time, we will go early. It was a lot of walking & I had to stop & take a break at a stop light on the walk home.

NYC is amazing. We always seem to just bump into amazing playgrounds. This was one not far from the Intrepid. We were on a mission to find a bathroom & lunch. We finally found both. We had lunch at 5 napkins near Times Square. We then decided to walk down to the Highline Trail &…
