West 25th Street Market and Antiques Garage
On weekends, year-round, an empty parking lot becomes one of the city's most pop-
ular outdoor markets. A tradition for more than 30 years, some 100 vendors, from
Maine to Maryland, set up booths selling clothing, silver, jewelry, furniture, art, and
“junktiques” from old tools to vintage eyeglasses. Many prize antiques can be dis-
coveredatTheAntiquesGarage,anindoormarketjustaroundthecornerat112West

three floors.

The High Line
Whatwasonceadisusedelevatedrailroadtrack,
overgrown with weeds and strewn with garbage,
is now a slender city park, planted with native
grasses, trees and shrubs. The High Line has at-
tracted more than three million visitors since it
opened in 2009, and transformed a formerly
run-down neighborhood into the bargain. The
second section, which runs between West 20th
and West 30th streets, opened in 2011. The final
section, to 34th Street, is undergoing renovation.
• Gansevoort to 30th Sts
• Open 7am-10pm daily
