I love chowhound because....

So today I had a lightbulb moment. For many previous years I had relied upon Zagat and Tripadvisor as two alternate resources. I went to tripadvisor today to research Highline - and while doing so I realized how much I have come to rely upon my Chow pals so much more since I am a foodie at heart. Thank you to us all for being readily available to suggest and help!

So while tripadvisor clued me in on the area a bit ------ where should we go around the Highline area for good eats while keeping the costs lower? A few weeks ago we went for an occasion to Catch - a bit pricey. Looking for informal and fun - could be as simple as pizza (was considering the The Meatball Shop) - would enjoy outside dining - this would be for a Sunday - mid day or early dinner.

Tap Room at Colicchio & Sons
La Promenade des Anglais (30% off on Savored)
Cookshop

Riverman - We speak the same language! I was so excited about your connecting Savored to La Promenade being in the area - but sadly - none of Savored has discounts for Father's Day - makes sense. Thanks for the great suggestion!

We celebrated Mother's Day at Tap Room, mentioned above. The food was delicious and very reasonable. You might look into it for Father's Day.

For pizza, I'd do Company aka Co.

Chelsea Market also isn't too expensive.

There are also some great vendors ON the High Line itself:

Kathryn - thanks for posting those links - mmmmm - MELT! I think that might be a must do while walking! I hadn't realized there were food places on the Highline - haven't yet been there. I will check out the Porch - any other sitdown places up there for drinks with eats?

No not really, you order at the counter at the Porch, and seat yourself on this small patio area. Otherwise, the food vendors are more small carts but there's lots of benches and seating on the High Line.
