The landscape of New York is in a constant state of evolution, from the Financial District to the Upper East Side. The island of Manhattan is currently going through an architectural Renaissance, modernizing the look of the city and turning once avoided neighborhoods into shopping and dining meccas. The lastest issue of Elle Decor, describes some of the latest additions to the city including the Bowery's New Museum pictured below, designed by Japanese architecture firm SANAA.
One of my favorite new sites to visit in New York is the High Line park. The urban park is a revitalization of a 1930s elevated freight train track and just opened to the public this past June. Visitors to the city can also stay above the park in the Standard New York Hotel (featured below). Although the skyline of New York City is always changing, the city always remains on the forefront of culture, fashion, architecture and design.
