If you're in the mood for a long, beautiful walk in Manhattan there's no better place than Hudson River Park. Architecture and art (by NYC Salt) included.
Little Island, New York City's latest tourist bait, was my destination. Thanks to Barry Diller, it reimagines a traditional shipping pier damaged by Hurricane Sandy.
Thom, Andrew and I had a timed admission for 7:30 p.m.
Not your grandparent's pier supports, that's for sure. Look carefully, and you can see remnants of the old ones.
The park's elevation gives visitors a whole new perspective on Hudson Yards, Chelsea and Lower Manhattan.
Thom described it as a "serpentine High Line." The landscaping sure looks the same.
I shot this panorama sweep from two locations, the Glade and the Southwest Overlook.
The view of the World Trade Center from the Glade.
The view of New Jersey from the Southwest Corner. Talk about commercial development in the past two decades--why can't the politicos do the same for affordable housing?
I can remember when the Empire State Building stood as an almost lone skyscraper.
Performances are planned for the Amph. Right now it provides one of the few places to sit.
I guess you're supposed to play this?
