Take a walk on the High Line. Visit the Meat Packing District (restaurants, clubs, beer gardens and expensive shopping) and Chelsea Market near the southern end and walk up towards 34th street where a new extension is being built. The High Line is a former rail road track now converted into a vertical park. You will find yourself among native New Yorkers and a lot of international travelers. Around 23rd Street you can detour off and head uptown to visit art galleries between 10th and 11th Avenue. (Some were flooded out by Hurricane Sandy, but many are back.)
