About Hudson Yards

Hudson Yards is a 28-acre neighborhood built on a platform above the West Side Yard, where Long Island Rail Road trains still park. The public square and gardens are free to walk and surround Vessel, a 16-story structure of interlocking staircases by Thomas Heatherwick. The Shops fill seven stories with about 100 stores and 20 restaurants. Edge, the outdoor observation deck on the 100th floor of 30 Hudson Yards, and Vessel both need paid tickets.
