TIPS
Time Out New York 10/31/11
The best place to remember why you love Manhattan takes you above the city while keeping you rooted in urban life. Walk through a field of wildflowers as cabs zoom along the street beneath you.

I lived in meatpacking in the 80's so I always get nostalgic looking down at my old stomping ground & how it's evolved into a beautiful hub of fashion & fine dining. - Mike Ruiz, The A-List: New York 
The New Yorker 10/19/10
An indie park, an anti-campus. Chelsea boys, JDaters, and pretty women, dressed in rompers, promenade in front of people-watchers, perched like fashion editors on wooden benches.
