Things To Do
Walk The High Line
The High Line was formally a rail track, which went out of use in 1980. The 1.45-mile-long elevated strip was resurrected in 2009 and turned into one of the best NYC Parks, and runs from Hudson Yards to the northern edge of Chelsea. Today it’s an urbanite’s playground featuring lovely wildflowers, greenery and outdoor art, while offering walkers some of the best views in NYC.
Visit Little Island
Since Little Island opened to the public in May 2021 thousands of visitors have flocked to see Manhattan’s newest “floating” greenspace. Open from 6am to 1am, the park is filled with open lawns, colorful shrubs and trees and a secret garden.
Whitney Museum of American Art
Planted at the foot of the Highline along Ganesvoort Street, the new Whitney building boasts some 63,000 square feet of both indoor and outdoor exhibition space. Its collection holds about 15,000 pieces by nearly 2,000 artists, including Alexander Calder, Willem de Kooning, Edward Hopper (the museum holds his entire estate), Jasper Johns, Louise Nevelson, Georgia O’Keeffe and Claes Oldenburg.
Chelsea Market
The former home of the National Biscuit Company is a hot spot for foodies and shopping addicts. Primarily known for its wide-range of eateries, Chelsea Market is hands-down one of New York’s most notable food halls boasting more than 35 vendors.
The Shops and Restaurants at Hudson Yards
Home to the Edge lookout and the Vessel, Hudson Yards is a perfect place to grab a bite or do some shopping.
Eat in Koreatown
Although it is a small train ride away, K-Town is great for a light bite, a heavier meal or some fun drinks. Our personal favorite is Five Senses.
Macy's
Shop in THE Macy's department store! Original escalators included.
