The City of New York and Friends of the High Line, a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and reuse of the 1.5-mile-long historic elevated rail structure on the West Side of Manhattan, have invited us to a Groundbreaking Celebration to mark the start of construction of a new park on the High Line.

The celebration will take place, rain or shine, this Monday, April 10, from 12:00 noon to
1:30 PM on Little West 12th Street, between 9th Avenue & Washington Street (map). This exciting event will mark the official beginning of the High Line's transformation into public open space. The street-level celebration will include a light lunch and entertainment.
