For a NY moment, take a stroll on The High Bridge which was recently reopened by the Parks Department since it was abandoned int the 1970s. This bridge was considered the “High Line” of the mid 19th century, as it became an attraction for New Yorkers and tourists, as well as a favorite subject for artists and photographers. The walkway’s popularity led to the building of hotels, restaurants and amusement parks in the vicinity. Originally it was built to accommodate the explosive growth of the city and its corresponding water needs.
