New York's Highest Point
New York's Highest Point.
Perhaps the highest point in the bor-
ough of Manhattan is at Ninety-sixth
street and Madison avenue. This is
where the New York Central Railroad
tunnel begins, and from this elevation
a fine view is obtained of Harlem to
the north and the East river and Long
Island to the east. One can look over
the roofs of the five-story houses of
Harlem clear to Washington Heights
and distinguish many points in the
borough of the Bronx.
From here there is a sharp decline
to the East river, and the tall chimney
at the foot of East Ninety-fifth street
does not look so very high from this
altitude. It is altogether a sight well
worth seeing.
