Amid fanfare and friction, they built the High Line, and yes, people did come. Now developers, restaurateurs, and shopkeepers are hoping to work the same mojo with the elevated park’s imminent second section, stretching from West 20th Street to West 30th Street. “The first phase debunked the criticism that it wouldn’t be safe, that it wouldn’t be used,” says Vishaan Chakrabarti of Columbia University, a former director of city planning. As evident from the following list of recently risen shops, hotels, nightclubs, galleries, condominiums, and rental buildings, there’s no shortage of interest in High Line 2.0.
