Beginning in mid-September, apple cider will be available every day. Those with a hearty appetite can enjoy grilled sandwiches and hot tomato soup made from local produce. Your favorite small plates – pickles, olives, and the mezze plate – will still be available, along with delicious, healthy snacks to carry away for picnics on the High Line.

September 21: Rail Yards Talk with Joel Sternfeld

Just beyond the new section of the park, the High Line at the Rail Yards remains overgrown with wildflowers and grasses that grew up between the tracks when the trains stopped running. This self-seeded landscape was first documented by photographer Joel Sternfeld in a series of images that helped inspire the movement to save the High Line from demolition.

In this public talk and slideshow, Joel will discuss his experience photographing the High Line, and how his understanding of the historic structure has changed since it was transformed into a public park. A short Q&A will follow the presentation.

This is the first of three talks about the High Line at the Rail Yards. Photographer Rick Darke will speak on Tuesday, September 27, and Friends of the High Line Co-Founder Robert Hammond will speak on Wednesday, October 5.

Rail Yards Talks are free and open to visitors of all ages. No RSVP required. Visit our Event Calendar for details.

Sustain the Entire High Line

Each year, we are responsible for 90% of the High Line’s operating costs. It’s our responsibility to hire the gardeners who care for the park’s landscape, the maintenance workers who keep the park clean and safe, and the program staff who keep the experience of the High Line rich and dynamic.

But we can only do so with your help. We count on members and friends like you to help us keep the High Line thriving each and every day.

This year, we have twice as much park to care for – including over 100,000 plants – which means that your support is more critical than ever.
