High Line & a bit of nudity

High Line first entry in the Meatpacking District

Green poking through

Had a wander along the High Line a few days ago. Great example of taking an unused rail yard and creating a green, community-based space. Also an example of the gentrification of the Meatpacking District - I love that episode of Sex and the City where Samantha [who has recently moved to the Meatpacking District] is horrified to see that Pottery Barn has moved in next to her local S&M club.

The building in the background is The Standard Hotel. Dad has taken people to the High Line a few times, and has often seen people "parading" themselves in the windows [obviously full aware of the onlooking audience]. According to this article, the hotel actually encourages guest nudity. Staff have even posed naked as "guests".

Only in America?
