7 Stop 7 of 9 on Death Avenue to the High Line

West Twenty-sixth Street

Chelsea / Meatpacking, New York City

A Preview

"West Twenty-sixth Street. Look at the buildings on both sides of you. Glass towers, luxury condos, restaurants with outdoor seating at street level. None of this was here twenty years ago. This was warehouses, parking lots, and an abandoned railroad that most of the neighborhood wanted torn down. What changed was two people who had no idea what they were doing."
