A garden good enough to eat

The New York Botanical Garden is a feast for the eyes and nose, and now, thanks to "The Edible Garden," a feast for the mouth as well.

Honoring the spirit of sustainability that has swept the United States, The Edible Garden, running from June 27 through Sept. 13, features a series of exhibitions and programs designed to encourage visitors to grow their own foods. Highlights of the series include: Martha Stewart's Culinary Herb Garden, Beginner's Vegetable Garden,Vegetables and Kids, and Farm to Table.

After a visit to The Edible Garden, you may be inspired to start your own garden, but first you have to get to The New York Botanical Garden. Not to worry, NYC Limousine will have you exploring produce in no time.

High Line opens to the public

The High Line was once an integral part of New York's transportation system, then in 1980 the trains stopped running. Now the High Line open once again -- this time as a public park. Section 1 of the High Line (from Gansevoort Street to 20th Street) is now giving visitors the chance to preview the park, which is still under construction.

Built in the 1930s, the High Line was part of a massive public-private infrastructure project called the West Side Improvement. In 1999, nearly 20 years after the last trains stopped running, Friend of the High Line formed to prevent the historic structure from being demolished. Thanks to their efforts the park is being completed, giving natives and visitors alike another green space to enjoy in the city.


NYC Limousine is the best way to get to The High Line, or any of the other great parks in the New York City area. We will be happy to arrange the transportation you need.
