I spent a morning walking around parts of lower Manhattan this past week, and the highlight of those hours was a visit to The High Line, New York's new $150,000,000 park in the air whose first segment, between Gansevoort St. in the Meat Market and W. 20th St. in Chelsea, opened a few days ago.
The High Line is an old segment of elevated New York Central railroad tracks that has been renovated into a three-stories-high park, and it is a glorious walk through views and plantings. With grand stairways at Gansevoort, 14th, 16th, 18th and 20th Sts., the park is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The Gansevoort entrance is conveniently located just a block from Massimo Bizzocchi's retail store on 14th street.

What an ingenious use of limited space in a dense city. I love your segments on clothes, but I also appreciate very much your non-clothing related segments, as well.
