A like totally cool park.

Want to take a stroll in the city's “it” park? Take a number. Suspended in the sky, hobnobbing with hotels of the Meatpacking District and Chelsea galleries, is The High Line. Nine months after the park's official opening, New Yorkers and tourists alike are still lining the sidewalks, sticking out the average half-hour wait to access the hovering garden.

And the reason there's still buzz? It acts more like a celebrity than it does a public park.

Move over Britney and Paris... take a whiff of this. High Line, Bond No. 9’s newest fragrance, “The World’s First Railroad Perfume,” hit stores in the beginning of this month. What's a railroad perfume smell like? “Wildflowers, green grasses… and urban renewal” masterfully combined with “imported sea moss, to evoke the Hudson River’s proximity, along with musk and teakwood, to remind us that High Line is a metro-perfume.” Finally, you can smell like the Hudson without having to step foot near it. All it took was a floating park.

How'd The High Line get so worthy? For starters, it had important, generous friends. Diane Von Furstenberg, Edward Norton, Kevin Bacon, and Hillary Clinton are just a few of the VIP’s showing and putting up to support the public park’s private life. They are the celebrity members of Friends of The High Line. The organization is responsible for the preservation of the bridge, creation of the railroad turned sky sanctuary, and foots 70 percent of the park's annual costs.

As trickle down trendiness would have it, The High Line has now got the local art scene in a headlock. Countless painters, filmmakers and photographers have taken a liking to the high life. A new interpretation of the 1958 ballet “Opus Jazz” filmed “the sexiest ballet ever” at the park, says the High Line’s blog. And “site-specific” sound installation by Stephen Vitiello will debut on High by late June. Visual artists like Valerie Hegarty display their work year-round along the grassy skybridge. It's even got its own curator.

See it. Hear it. Smell it. The long, lean landscape might have begun as just one of The Hulk’s write-offs but for now it has its own fan base. An internet-leaked porno, better yet a Tarantino music video, then it'd really be on top of the world...
