High Line Walking Tour
Taught by James Hoffman
James Hoffman is a seasoned licensed New York City tour guide with over a decade of experience. He’s set up an array of sightseeing walks and bike tours that span from iconic landmarks like Grand Central Terminal to the historic Green-Wood Cemetery.
When he's not leading tours he runs open board game nights at victorypints.com and donates his time to the Guides Association of New York City (GANYC), working alongside fellow guides to promote live tour guides.
Of all the public spaces in the New York, probably the least likeliest to ever have been created is The High Line. Few people probably ever imagined that the abandoned elevated train tracks that ran through West Chelsea would one day be one of the most popular attractions in New York City.
Join us for a walk down the High Line as we talk about the history of the park itself and the surrounding area. We'll get beautiful views of the Hudson River, see a lot of cool architecture, and learn about the history of the park and surrounding area.
Come learn about the "West Side Cowboys" of Death Avenue, the birth place of one of America's favorite cookies, sites associated with the Titanic and a lot, lot more!
We'll meet on 34th Street between 11th Ave and 12th Ave, and exact meeting instructions will be sent the day before the walk.
