It didn't take long for the High Line lawn to become this generation's Plato's Retreat, with plenty of young New Yorkers flocking there for some action. Most recently we were even sent photos of one couple looking very happy after getting to second base in broad daylight (see below). And now, the High Line lawn has been closed for "restoration"—which means the rain didn't wash away all the sins last week, and this grass is getting sanitized! Or maybe it just got all muddy from the rain. Who can say! Either way though, it wouldn't hurt to give it a nice Purell bath.

High Line Lawn Closed To Clean Off Your Sins
Photos: The High Line's Phase II, After Dark
You've seen the High Line's Phase II in broad daylight, but the ol' gal looks even better at night.
High Line Phase II: Check Out This Horticulture
Those of you who didn't rush out of work immediately on learning that the High Line Phase II opened this morning (one day early!) have already seen our extensive gallery of the new section of the park. But this isn't just a park—it's also a garden. Let's take a closer look at some of the new plantings and flowers up on the trackbed. If you know the names of these plants, ring in down in the comments and we'll add them!
High Line II: Electric Boogaloo
The High Line park is still growing. Last year upon the opening of the highly anticipated converted railway, we only entered Phase I of the overall plan. And now Curbed has a few aerial views of the second half, still a work in progress, which runs from 20th to 30th Street. They note it's scheduled to open sometime this year, but the Friends of the High Line are keeping the date mum for now (though it could be around the 1 year anniversary of the first half opening). In the meantime, check out Phase II renderings... looks leafy!
