The New York City 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! 

Mario’s presentation includes visits to the recently opened “Little Island @ Pier 55” and a look down from “The Edge” the 1171’ observation deck 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.
