Look, the High Line is nice but going during busy times is torture. You'll be shuffling along at snail pace surrounded by tourists taking selfies every three feet.

Here's what you do - go early morning before 10am or after 6pm when the crowds thin out. Weekdays are way better than weekends obviously.

Or just skip it entirely and walk the actual streets of the Meatpacking District. You'll see more, move faster, and not feel like cattle being herded through a tourist conveyor belt.
