When your in the mood for a leisurely afternoon, head to the Meatpacking. Enjoy a relaxed brunch at The Wild Son followed by a stroll along the Highline.
The Wild Son is an all day restaurant and cocktail bar serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with an emphasis on delicious and healthy proteins, vegetables, greens and grains. Extensive and healthy brunch menu not to mention creative cocktails, cold beers and organic wines as well as fresh juices and coffee.
It's a more relaxed spot for the neighborhood tucked just between the Highline and the Hudson River and around the corner from the Whitney Museum of Art and the all the Meatpacking District.
The High Line is a beautiful elevated park and walkway that meanders throughout the Meatpacking and Chelsea. Greenery, colorful flowers and a great view make walking The High Line a very different experience than walking the streets of New York! In the summer you’ll find bar set-ups and small markets along the line. Depending on your speed, walking the High Line will take about 30-60 minutes.
The origins of the elevated tracks date back nearly 100 years to when freight trains were elevated to allow for safer travel into Manhattan and easier access directly into several factories which is why the line runs right through several buildings. By the 1980s however the line was completely unused by trains. In the last ten years it has undergone a transformation from an overgrown unused eyesore into a park and one of the more geographically and historically interesting, geo parks in the city.
