Excellent combination of the newest thing in New York (high line), the architectural heritage and history of the town.

Michelle was delightful! She arrived on time, inquired about our particular interests, and used her knowledge of architecture very effectively as she explained the history of the Meat Packing District and the evolution of and architectural features of the High Line. We walked and discussed the neighborhood for nearly three hours, including a stop for coffee, and advice on where to get a good lunch in the Chelsea Market. Michelle pointed out many things we simply would not have noticed on our own, with an emphasis on how function influenced the architecture and evolving activity in that district. She also gave us excellent tips on ways to extend our visit to the neighborhood and beyond, including verifying that the New York Grid exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York would be a particularly interesting follow up. It was indeed so! Michelle also gave us the titles of several good books for reading about the history of that area of NYC. It was an altogether excellent experience. Thank you!

We really enjoyed the tour and got lots of good information about the area and the High Line Park. I loved that the tour was led by an architect!
