High Line Field Notes -Maryam Choudhary 2:00pm. The amateur ethnographer had been standing inside the Chelsea Market entrance for maybe twenty minutes. She observes her surroundings. She reads a sign: Welcome Pfizer Hmm. I should look that up. The people inside Chelsea Market are bustling. The amateur ethnographer notes the people just walking in. Some […]
I don’t do the cold. The fact that it was 39 degrees out made it very difficult for me to enjoy that Wednesday afternoon, but I left the city satisfied. It was my first time at the High Line and we arrived at 2:14 pm. The skies were cloudy and according to my disheveled hair, […]
On February 10th, 2016, I embarked on a journey to the High Line with the guys plus one crew of Mitch, Robin, Mark, and me. Our trip began at Chelsea Market. My first thought when we arrived was that people would have to be out of their mind to come here just for fun in […]

The lighting is average, but the brown halls give off a dark feeling, like a portal to a new realm. A portal that included an energetic […]

On the tenth of February, our small group, consisting of Mark Rayev, Sandy Mui, Mitch Vutrapongvatana, and myself, sojourned to Manhattan’s West Side in search of New York City’s prolific High Line. The weather experienced throughout this trip was rather relentless, unifying high winds speeds with temperatures fluctuating between 18 and 25 degrees Fahrenheit. This […]
Location: 2:00 far west side, Chelsea/Meatpacking District only close to A, C, E trains, but E doesn’t go to Brooklyn and the A and C don’t go to my area. Now there’s also the 7 at Hudson Yards, but only at 34th and 12th ave. former industrial rail line Neighborhood: transitioning industrial to commercial, mixed […]
The day is Wednesday, February 10 and the weather is a little less than beautiful. Cold, gusting winds bite my face as I head to the High Line down 9th avenue to 15th street. I see men and women of various age and race going about their daily lives; the smells of cigarette smoke and […]
Field Notes: The Highline I visited the Highline at around two o’clock in the afternoon. It was relatively bright outside and the sky was clear. The weather however wasn’t as forgiving.
