For refreshment after a leisurely stroll through the celebrated West Side park, you'd need to hike another two-plus miles, south and east, to reach this deli in the Fujianese heart of Chinatown. A second, possible inspiration for the Highline name is the hulking Manhattan Bridge; as you exit the deli's front door, it looms beyond the noodle-and-dumpling joints on Eldridge St. The bridge is walkable but, since pedestrians must share the span with bicycles, cars, trucks, and several subway lines, not nearly as tranquil.
