Totally cool picture, how did you get there?

Every time I boat under the High Line bridge I so much want to go up there.

Can you imagine the view?

It looks like the gates aren’t that difficult to breach, and I doubt if anyone has watched for trespassers in the many decades it’s been shut down.

I also would absolutely LOVE to explore the old smallpox sanitarium at the foot of Welfare Island (Roosevelt Island)!

Oh, my goodness, what an incredible set of ruins that place is. I believe Spiderman 2’s ending scenes were shot there.

Mio? That pic is from the linked website. I'm from NYC but I can't recall seeing that rail line. Just can't picture it.

79th street?

Oh yeah! Wish I had a boat so I could visit Plum Island. ;-)
