NYC+The High Line

Voted best city of 2010 by Wallpaper Magazines spectrum of judges (including James Murdoch, Galliano and Almodóvar) NYC has never felt so compelling. Undimmed by the new era of austerity, its energy and creativity have merely been refocused. In this city once driven by excess, there’s a greater appreciation of quality over quantity. Not a day goes by without one-of-a-kind shops and restaurants or striking buildings springing up all around town.
And snaking its way through New York City on former train tracks, Manhattan’s “High Line” with new hanging gardens has proved a hit with both locals and visitors. With its great views and naturalistic planting, the raised promenade (ones an elevated railroad) now provides one of New York’s most uplifting experiences. All the more reason to return to the greatest city this side of the ocean.
