Find
a right place so even a NYC hot summer can turn into a pleasant experience. Check
my favorite places.
A
morning walk along The Highline Park
Great
park to just walk around and relax during warm weather. I've been here
countless times before and every time I come here, I have yet to become
disappointed. There's just so much to see. Equipped with everything from
restrooms to food stands, the High Line was an old elevated freight train line
that went through building in order to transport goods. The city decided to fix
the abandoned train line and transformed it into the elegant elevated park it
is today.
The trees and plants along the whole park add a different level of freshness to the park and the view of the West Side of Manhattan and the Hudson River upraise the value!

The
High Line, once ugly, old elevated rail line has become a favorite place in the
city for many people. The city did such a fine job with the plants, sculptures,
modern-looking benches, and fountains. Some vendors set up shop for people to
take a little break from the trail.
The
Highline Park recently opened the last leg of the park after construction. The
last part extends to the Jacob Javits Center in 34th street. It makes the park
more available for those attending a conference and who want a well-deserved
break.
The
finished extension looks beautiful! You can go to the hide and seek area. Small
children can enjoy the rabbit hole there.

Chill
out anytime and in anywhere of the Central Park - the first
landscaped Public Park in the United States build to establish international
reputation. After three years of debate over the park site and cost, in 1853
the state legislature authorized the City of New York to use the power of
eminent domain to acquire more than 700 acres of land in the center of
Manhattan.
An
irregular terrain of swamps and bluffs, punctuated by rocky outcroppings, made
the land between Fifth and Eighth avenues and 59th and 106th streets
undesirable for private development. Creating the park, however, required
displacing roughly 1,600 poor residents, including Irish pig farmers and German
gardeners, who lived in shanties on the site. At Eighth Avenue and 82nd Street,
Seneca Village had been one of the city's most stable African-American
settlements, with three churches and a school. The extension of the boundaries
to 110th Street in 1863 brought the park to its current 843 acres.
Hide
in Elevated Acre
You
can reach this acre-long plaza by an escalator. It is lined with benches and
foliage and boasting views of the Brooklyn Bridge. Home to outdoor movie
screenings and office workers' lunch breaks, it's unassuming, attached to 55
Water Street.
Explored
the Heather Garden in the Fort Tryon Park
In
1935 the vaunted Olmsted brothers were tapped to design this three–acre park,
one of the largest heath and heather gardens on the East Coast, located 100
feet above the Hudson River with views of the Palisades over in New Jersey.
There are other flowers to be found here, too, from hydrangeas to irises.
Consider
a sunset in the Battery Park City which was created by land reclamation on the
Hudson River using over 3 million cubic yards of soil and rock excavated during
the construction of the World Trade Center, the New York City Water Tunnel, and
certain other construction projects, as well as from sand dredged from New York
Harbor off Staten Island. The neighborhood, which is the site of Brookfield Place
(formerly the World Financial Center), along with numerous buildings designed
for housing, commercial, and retail, is named for adjacent Battery Park.
