People love photographing the High Line during the day. The first page of results on a Google image search for "High Line" yields only 8 night images out of 448. But the High Line is open at night (until 10pm) and runs amidst one of New York City's most popular party districts. And it goes literally underneath the Standard Hotel and hovers above the road. This is a good thing because it helps you avoid the denizens of the Meatpacking District.

Be nice to them!
