NEW YORK - A few dozen New Yorkers wandered through Manhattan’s elevated High Line Park on Thursday, marveling at the lush gardens, city views and lack of crowds as it reopened with limited capacity after a four-month shutdown due to COVID-19.
The High Line that opened on Thursday, mostly empty and its walkway dotted with bright green circles spaced six feet apart, was an unfamiliar sight to New Yorkers who know it as a tourist haven. That made it an especially welcome respite for the lockdown-weary. “By the time I got around to going, I saw all these billions of tourists lined up so I thought, ‘I’m not going to go there,’” said Redfern, 80 years old and recently retired from publishing.
A few people sunbathed on wooden lounge chairs wearing masks and sunglasses. Others snapped selfies, pushed strollers or read books in the shade. The city, once the epicenter of the United States’ COVID-19 crisis with more than 6,000 new cases daily, has recorded fewer than 300 new cases daily in the last week with a positive test rate of about 2%.
