seiberwingOne of these days I'm going to find a way to sneak up to New York without my grandmother finding out. Because this place is actually kind of awesome when you're not dragging around a personality-disordered madwoman with reducing mobility and increasing memory and hearing loss.
Take the Highline, for instance. It's a garden in the middle of Manhattan that someone decided to build on a railroad bridge. I'll upload the pictures when I get home but it's the weirdest thing to be on. You're walking past flowers and grasses and you're fifteen feet up in the air surrounded by apartments and office buildings, it's like something out of a sci-fi.
Then there's Chelsea Market, a small underground marketplace that someone decided to build inside the remains of an Oreo Factory. It's a gorgeous little place and I wish I'd had more time to nose about in it, it honestly feels like the place exists in some odd subway-dwelling civilization with pipes coming out of the walls and giant ceiling fans circulating air.
Very cool beans indeed.
