High Line Park
Sunday - May 4th 2025
Thanks to the jetlag our first full day in New York City started pretty early.
Once we were ready for the day, we headed to
Cafe Aroma just next to the
hotel for breakfast. Cafe Aroma offered a wide selection of bagels and
pastries and so we got bagels with cream cheese and iced coffees. For today we
planned to walk along the High Line to Chelsea. So after breakfast we were on
our way to Hudson Yards, where we first checked out the amazing sctucture
called The Vessel before it was time for our walk to Chelsea. The
High Line is an elevated
park created on the former New York Central Railroad on the West Side of
Manhattan. Along the way we left the High Line for a quick stop at
Little Island at Pier 55, a man
made park on an artificial island. Back at the High Line we finished our walk
in the Meatpacking District, where we stopped at Starbucks for an iced coffee.

Since it was already noon, we got hungry and decided to get something to eat
at Chelsea Market. Luckily the market and the small restaurants are all inside, because it
started to rain. For lunch we stopped at an Asian noodle restaurant and
ordered probably the most spicy noodle dishes ever. Afterwards we just
strolled through the market and bought some souvenirs. Later we took an uber
to the
Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum located at Pier 86 along the Hudson River. The museum showcases old fighter
planes onboard the USS Intrepid, an aircraft carrier from World War II. The
highligh was definitely the Enterprise, the prototype of the Space Shuttle,
but also the Concorde and the submarine USS Growler. In the late afternoon
we returned to the hotel and while the inlaws took a rest, Claudia and I
headed down to the bar and got a couple of beers. Later we had a dinner
reservation at the
Hard Rock Cafe. After another Hard Rock Cafe visit in the books, we bought some sweets at
Target before heading back to the hotel and calling it a day in front of the
TV watching Friends.
