Recently on a trip to New York City, we spent hours at the newer Hudson Yards. experiencing and seeing some of the most one-of-a-kind immersive experiences in the city.
The 24 acre area expands the Midtown Manhattan business district westward to the Hudson River, and has become a hub for wellness for locals and visitors. Construction began in 2012 with the groundbreaking for 10 Hudson Yards. It s near the Hell s Kitchen, Chelsea and Penn Station neighborhoods.
A multi-sensory experience is the nearby Vessel in the Hudson Yards Public Square. This 16 story high unique beehive looking metal structure is meant to be climbed and photographed. Designed by Thomas Heatherwick and Heatherwick Studio it offers a new perspective of the city and Hudson River while riding the 8 passenger elevator or walking up 154 intricately interconnecting flights of stairs. It s a great workout stepping up and down 2,500 individual copper-clad steps and 80 landings. Entrance is free, however since this is new, you need to secure an advance timed ticket. Same-day tickets are sometimes available beginning at 9:30 a.m.
