“Before it was restored, the High Line was a spontaneous wonder. Today, it's something more. The untouched landscape we saw, covered with wildflowers, was surreal., The High Line today is incredible -- it's a botanic garden, a central plaza, an art museum, a cultural center and an evolution of the wonder that was hidden in the middle of Chelsea for decades. It's always free. It is a living, changing space where anyone can experience that irresistible tension. And that, even more than wildflowers in the city, is something I never thought could be possible.”
