Join Build Out Alliance for a fun and fascinating tour underneath the High Line! Starting with the history of our renowned elevated park, tour guide and neighborhood aficionado, Kyle Supley, will delve into the High Line’s time as an abandoned rail track cutting through Chelsea and the campaign to remake it into one of the most popular attractions in New York City. Hear about the redevelopment of Chelsea’s waterfront landmarks and industrial buildings, Chelsea’s gay history, and the neighborhood’s transformation into a thriving arts district.

Happy hour to follow at a local watering hole near the end of the tour at 27th Street and 11th Avenue.
