Road Trip to the High Line and the Whitney in NYC

We will meet at the Paoli Train Station on Saturday October 17th at 8:45AM to take Amtrak train to NYC. Then walk on the High Line trail to Chelsea Market for lunch, and continue on the High Line to the Whitney.

In place of a book this month I've provided video links below relating to the High Line.

9:05 - 11:05 Amtrak from Paoli to NYC
12:00 Chelsea Market
2:00 Whitney Museum
6:15 - 8:40 Amtrak from NYC to Paoli

The Whitney Museum of American Art focuses on collecting and preserving 20th- and 21st-century American art. It places particular emphasis on exhibiting the work of living artists, and is the largest repository of Edward Hopper's artwork and materials.

The High Line is a 1.5-mile-long elevated linear park, greenway, and rail trail created on a former New York Central Railroad spur on the West Side of Manhattan.

You will need to purchase your Amtrak and the Whitney tickets well in advance.
