The Lot at 30th Street (CLOSED)

This temporary plaza, formerly a parking lot and soon to be a 30-story high-rise, will spend the summer of 2011 as the High Line's party central. For a few months Tom Colicchio will curate a rotating schedule of food trucks and a beer-and-wine bar, the Lot on Tap. Art installations, outdoor films and other public programs will undoubtedly attract crowds.
