THE NEW CENTER OF HUDSON YARDS

With over 100 stores, refined dining experiences, public gardens, a new performing art center, multiple residential and commercial buildings, the $28 billion dollar project by the name "Hudson Yards" was envisioned and built to be a self-sufficient "city within a city"

Other than the Shopping Mall with a plethora of different stores from the expensive Nieman Marcus to more affordable ones like Uniqlo, Zara and H&M, the 25 Restaurants and Dining Experiences definitely take center stage at this revolutionary complex. Just to name a few, you will find the renowned Estiatorio Milos, Tak Room, Queensyard, and many others. Plus, the world-acclaimed Chef José Andrés is opening his first Eatery in New York City with the "Mercado Little Spain"

But the complex doesn't just feature shops, restaurants, and gardens, there are several attractions worth experiencing!

The Edge Observatory

Opening March 11th 2020. It will be an "open-air" observatory located on the 101st Floor which makes it the highest public balcony in New York. There is also a glass floor so you can see 1,100 feet (0.34 km) below you, or, you can literally lean into the angled nine-foot window-walls if you are looking for some additional thrill! Tickets start at $36.

The Vessel

The new iconic landmark that is literally meant to be climbed. Free admission and timed-entry so you don't have to wait in line. Free tickets during the first hour of operation, then tickets must be booked online at the costs $ 10.

The Vessel,  closed in January 2021 after several people committed suicide, reopened with measures to reduce the risk of suicide. The admission is only allowed in groups of 2 or more, therefore it will no longer allowed to hike up the steps of the Vessel alone.

LEARN MORE ABOUT "THE VESSEL"

One of the most anticipated attractions of the new Hudson Yards was probably The Vessel, the very intricate vertical maze with over 2,500 individual steps! If you were to climb each flight of stairs, you will be climbing for approximately 1 mile (1.61 km).

Designed by Thomas Heatherwick and Heatherwick Studio, The Vessel is meant to be a centerpiece from where people can enjoy unparalleled views of the city and the Hudson River at different heights and vantage points.

Located just North of the Highline, it has direct access to the latter and it's easily reachable by Subway (Line 7).

The Vessel - Opening Hours:
Monday-Saturday: 11:00am-8:00pm -- Sunday 11:00am - 7:oopm
