First of all, let's go to the supermarket and restock the fridge.
Our first High Line stop, at the beginning of the century Meatpacking District and Chelsea were the largest industrial area in Manhattan, so elevated tracks were built to transport goods that were later converted into this wonderful green area.

We go along the old railway route, there are benches, gardens, art exhibitions, food stalls... There are sections where the rails are still preserved. There are hidden corners to be discovered. Essential.
Street Art
Art Gallery
Wandering through art galleries and artistic street graffiti, we arrived at Chelsea Market. It occupies an old Nabisco (Oreo) cookie factory, mostly gourmet shops and boutiques, but the building is worth it.

West Village is a residential area, we visited Cherry Lane Theatre, a small theatre outside of Brodway, at 90 Bedford and Grove Street is the building of the inconic series of the nineties Friends, we continue to No. 66 Perry St. the facade of the house of Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City.
Friends Building
We continue to Christopher Park and from there to Jefferson Market Library (curious building).
Christopher Park
Finally we arrive at Washington Square Park, a square that was once a mass grave and public executions. It's full of college students, people playing chess, and others enjoying street performances. The Standford White Arch stands out in this green area.

We pick up food at Kuku Canteen and sit back and enjoy the view. NYU is halfway around the park. We look for the Wha? café but it is closed, we have a coffee at The Coffe Bean an the Tea Leaf with a bagel.
We walk to Pier 6 on the Hudson River, walk with New Jersey on our left and the One World Trade Center on our back. The huge buildings that used to be slaughterhouses have also been converted.
One World Trade Center
At 6 p.m. we go to the Flatiron Building to look for Nao, tonight's baseball game in Yanquee Stadium in the Bronx. The subway goes all the way up, like sardines in a can. We arrive at the stadium, the very exciting game finally won by the Yankees 5 to 4 in the last inning. The atmosphere is great and although the tickets are not expensive the food and drink is quite expensive.
