I’ve wanted to check this out for years but never seemed to make it to that side of town but this time it was happening for sure! Kind of cool that there was a cool art/light display – Genesis lights on the Highline.
We won’t mention the completely naked dude just strolling around his apartment, like dude, my EYES. lol NYC was most definitely all the way in to NYC-mode on our last day. We won’t even talk about the scenario of a busy subway station with some dude playing Sweet Child of Mine on electric guitar and amp whilst some other most naked dude with a clown mask and yellow chain for “thong” was gyrating by himself on the steps a few feet away. W. The. Fuck. NYC? Anyway. Back to the prettier side of NYC:
You can see the growth of the plants – the highline is very well curated and tended.
This piece of art was quite interesting and unexpected – placed perfectly – if you look past this mini statue you can see the full Statue of Liberty in the distance. The mask on this statue is reminding people of ongoing issues of personal freedoms around the world. Currently, the face of Mahnaz Akbari is shown here.
Christmas/Winter note: apparently, the hotel The Standard located right on the Highline has a cool vibe for the holidays including an ice rink with bumper cars? Who knew? They’ll be there until March.
