Heading down to see our good friends Paul and Jennifer this morning, gonna share in a little brunch at
The Standard Grill. It's located down the the Meatpacking District on Washington St. and 13th St., underneath the High Line. Looking forward to eating, but I feel as if I always look forward to eating.
For those of you not from around the NYC area, the High Line used to be an elevated train track used to deliver milk, produce, meats, raw and manufactured goods to factories and warehouses - it was designed to create less street-level traffic, and seeing how the trains pulled right into the factories, it was super convenient. The High Line was opened in 1934 and used through the 1980. Instead of demolishing the entire thing, they decided to leave it, and ultimately renovated it to an elevated park, opening in June of 2009. The section from Gansevoort St. to 20th St. is the only stretch opened as of now, with a new stretch from 20th to 30th St. set to open in 2011. Here's a look at some of what it is.
