COFFEE BEANS & BEINGS / CUPPA NYC JOE & PIE AT THE END OF THE HIGH LINE

That’s Bubby’s, where we gladly found an outdoor table to have coffee and slices of a fabulous house-made pie, a welcome pit stop after walking the length of the High Line. Whitney Museum is nearby.

PillartoPost.org took a long weekend hop to New York City just for grins.  No agenda.  No pressure.  Weather was fantastic for late Spring.  The following is a series of random shots from the Roosevelt Island tram to the south end of the High Line, where we found Bubby’s (73 Gansevoort St,) for pie and coffee.  Bubby’s is just east of the Whitney Museum.  Original photography by Michael Shess, PillartoPost.org, please credit.

Roosevelt Island Tramway is an aerial tramway in New York City that spans the East River from 59^th St. and 2^nd Ave. and connects to Tramway Plaza on Roosevelt Island.  The tram (every 15 minutes) connects the East River island to the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The tramway is the first commuter aerial tramway in North America, having opened in 1976.

Tourists snap away on the Roosevelt Island Tram as it heads toward the famed narrow island in the middle of the East River.  Is it fun crossing in winter? “NO!, we’re told.”

That’s New York.

Vessel is a permanent 16-story art installation in the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project and was designed by architect Thomas Heatherwick.  It opened in March (2019) at a cost of $150 million.

High Line is a 1.45-mile-long elevated linear free public park, greenway and rail trail created on a former New York Central Railroad spur on the west side of Manhattan in New York City. The High Line’s design is a collaboration between James Corner Field Operations, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, and Piet Oudolf.
