If you’re anything like me, maybe you like your exploration to have a little structure to it…well here you go! Follow one of NYC’s premier urban greenspace parks along a trail that takes you past some of the city’s best under the radar (well, compared to some) spots and locales.

So without further adieu, if you’re looking for a fun day in NYC, here’s how I spent the day around the High Line on my last trip.

Breakfast at Chelsea Market

One of the most famous food halls in the world, the Chelsea Market is a favorite with tourists and locals alike. Learn more

The Whitney Museum of American Art

The Whitney Museum of American Art opens most weekday mornings (closed on Tuesdays) at 10:30AM (11AM on the weekends), and when we arrived about 10:15 there was already a pretty big line to get in. Learn more

High Line

The High Line is one of my favorite ways to feel like you’re “getting away” while still enjoying pretty amazing views of NYC. Learn more

Little Island at Hudson Park

This is a new to me park! I saw it from a distance from the upper floor of the Whitney and made a detour from the Highline to check it out. Built out over the Hudson River at Pier 55, this “urban oasis” is exactly the kind of thing I love about big cities. Learn more

Hudson Yards

The northern end of the High Line kind of runs into Hudson Yards which is a great place for shopping, dining, and just hanging out in general. Learn more
