Greenwich Village, High Line and Chelsea

I took a 3-hr Greenwich Village, High Line and Chelsea tour and walked via on the tour: Stonewall Inn, Gay Liberation Monument, Jefferson Market Courthouse, Friends Apartment, Washington Square Park, Washington Arch, Cafe Wha?, etc. New York City parks were built over public graveyards and boast a wide variety of bird species throughout the year. We saw a hawk parking on a tree in Washington Square. New York was the national capital before Philadelphia and Washington DC. — at Greenwich Village.














I second half of the walking tour covered New York’s most exciting new park and the history of the Meatpacking District as well as Chelsea and it’s wonderful market. High Line, a 2.3km (1.4 mile) reclaimed railroad track, has become a massive tourist attraction and a boon to real estate developers. High Line has been so successful at transforming west Chelsea that art galleries have been priced out of the neighborhood. — at The High Line.







The comedy I booked ITS TIME TO GO HOME, at Broadway Comedy Club & Cabaret , was disappointing. although the main comedian is a famous comedy writer, he did not delivery the lines well. On the other hand, the Bach Vespers Program at the Lutheran Church had wonderful music as well as short and funny sermon. Vespers is the sunset evening prayer service in the Orthodox, Western and Eastern Catholic, Anglican, and Lutheran liturgies of the canonical hours. There was a light reception of wine and cheese after the 1.5 hr service. — at Holy Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church. 











Fifth Avenue is a major thoroughfare going through the borough of Manhattan in New York City, And the most expensive and best shopping streets in the world. Night lights on Fifth avenue, including the Trump Tower. — at Fifth Avenue.
