ced in its original spots. Some of the track sits above the pavement, with flowers poking through. Other pieces are embedded in the park's concrete planked walkway that with gently sloping benches and narrow water fountains was designed to evoke High Line track. MEATPACKING: At 13th Street, look west for a line of large metal brackets on top of an adjacent building. The brackets once anchored meat hooks along one of the High Line's widest sections, where trains pulled off on a spur to unload. Once home to more than 250 slaughterhouses, the area still houses meatpacking, including a co-op of seven companies that just signed a 20-year lease extension with the city, the mayor's office said. Just north of the park's Gansevoort Street entrance at 44 Little West 12th St., a tiny brick diner, Hector's Cafe, keeps meatpacker hours: 2 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays and 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturdays. It's clean, offers standard diner fare and welcomes all, from truckers to club kids. THE SEX HOTEL: OK, it's not really called that. It's The Standard at 13th Street, a 337-room, 18-floor hotel that is the only commercial building straddling the High Line. With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the park, it became famous for guests engaging in hanky-panky in full view of the High Line baby stroller crowd soon after the park opened. Word is the hotel now has cards in each room asking guests to be more discreet. Look for the real sex hotel from the High Line on 10th Avenue between 13th and 14th streets. It's the red brick Liberty Inn, a former boarding house for sailors, Prohibition-era speakeasy and go-go bar built in 1908. The Liberty calls itself "Your Rendezvous for Romance" and rents by the hour. "It's an old-fashioned, hot sheets hotel," said a not-so-bothered Joshua David, co-founder of Friends of the High Line. THE GOOGLE BRIDGE: When Google moved into space once used by Nabisco, its workers took to using an ornate steel bridge on 15th Street that connects the upper floors of two buildings. Google has since bought a 3 million-square-foot building a block away. "This is where the young people want to come. That's why Google is here," Bloomberg said. GRAFFITI AND BILLBOARDS: Amid the fancy new buildings around the High Line are lots of funky old ones, some of which have some cool tags and faded company names. The anonymous Neck Face graffiti artist left a yellow snake on the bottom of the still-wild third section of the High Line. Look behind the elevator at 30th Street. The second section's "viewing spur" pays unlikely homage to largely reviled billboards stuck all over the High Line during its decline. Here you can sit in front of a steel frame looking out on 10th Avenue at 26th Street — and an auto shop. The frame is softly illuminated at night. PEOPLE: The High Line's not all about the industrial past. You can practically see into von Furstenberg's glass penthouse dome in the shape of a diamond above her 14th Street headquarters. The new section of the park has a residential feel as well. Marianne Boesky put up driftwood sticks along her balcony on top of her 10,000-square-foot gallery at 24th Street, like a picket fence. She has some grapevines, too. Other neighbors include Patty Heffley, who with friends serenaded High Liners in the early months from her fourth-floor fire escape at 20th Street, where the first section ended and a locked metal gate rattled when anybody touched it. She still lives there in her $841-a-month rental, with an "Area 51" license plate in the window, but building regulations shut down her nightly Renegade Cabaret shows. "Go home, we would say. We sometimes made jokes to people as they snapped our photos like circus animals," Heffley, 57, a former punk rock photographer, said Monday. "It'll be interesting to see what happens now." VIEWS: From the High Line you can see the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. You might even catch a high flyer through the screen windows of the Trapeze School New York at 30th Street. The undulating steel structure at 23rd Street is Los Angeles architect Neil Denari's HL23, a 14-story condo tower with a relatively tiny footprint that broadens as it rises, leaning 10 feet over the High Line. In the winter months, when the trees drop their leaves, both the East River and
