With all the hubbub surrounding the reveal of Renzo Piano's new branch of the Whitney Museum at the southern end of the High Line, it got us thinking about our old friend, the soon-to-be park in the sky. Actually, that's a lie. We're always thinking about the High Line, but it was only now that the good people at the Park Department and Friends of the High Line let us up on the rails to get a closer look at construction progress. If you recall, Phase 1 of the High Line—the snaking chunk between Gansevoort and West 19th Streets—is nearly ready for soil and landscaping in anticipation of a fall/winter opening, but it's not until you're led up a rickety wooden staircase on 19th Street that you realize, whoa, Phase 1 is ready for soil and landscaping! We'll present our findings in three galleries, the first of which is above. Later today: a game of rendering/reality and a look at The Chair. What chair? Oh my, just wait.

And now, the latest from Racked, covering shopping and retail from the sidewalks up.

1) Chelsea: "Feast your eyes on the fitness center that makes us want to toss our NYSC card down a sidewalk grate, the new Equinox in West Chelsea development the Caledonia." Find the fabulousness in a Racked photo gallery.

2) East Village: Who, or what, is killing all the bodegas? Racked has the evidence.

3) Brooklyn Heights: Atlantic Avenue will be changing on March 13. That's the date for the new Urban Outfitters BK.

4) Midtown: Today's the official launch day for designer Pierre Hardy's shoe collection for Gap stores, and Racked found a tiny pop-up open for the occasion, right next door to the flagship store. There is a photo gallery, naturally.
