After a recommendation from Lynne and Les we booked the 'Village Sampler' tour with City Rovers for Sunday morning but unfortunately messed up the starting time and missed it by an hour. Deciding not to waste the morning we walked the full length of The High Line, America's first elevated park instead.
Max, the owner of the company was very understanding of our stuff up and kindly let us take the tour the next day.
Waiting for the tour start at the Chelsea market, across the road from the New York head quarters of Google. They take up the whole block and paid 1.8 billion for the building!
Inside the Chelsea market
Up on the 'High Line.'
Water section, very popular with children!
'Busted', one of the pop up art works currently on display on the High Line.
A Dive bar in the meat packing district where women are encouraged to leave their bra on their first visit!
Something that caught Nick's eye!
The tour ended down in Greenwich.
We forgot to photograph the many treats Max gave us to eat along the way including chocolate, cookies, scones and oreos. Max is an interesting young man who quit his wall street job to start this walking tour company and we really like what he stands for. The tour was fantastic and we would recommend it to anyone planning to visit New York.
