Virtual: Highlights of the High Line, with Mario Medici
Event Details
The High Line is only 1.45 miles long but it’s packed with history old and new. Take a walk on The High Line with Mario Medici, amateur photographer and historian, and discover how the High Line was transformed from a historic elevated freight rail to one of New York City’s most popular parks. Check out the new architecture, gigantic skyscrapers built over train tracks, century-old ice buildings, shopping centers, new sculpture art, and, yes, even where the Oreo cookie was discovered! Presentation includes visits to the recently opened “Little Island @ Pier 55” and a look down from “The Edge” 1171’ above Manhattan. Whether you’re planning a visit to The High Line or just curious to see what The High Line has to offer this presentation is not to be missed!
