I walked through this park as part of my Greenway hike. I enjoyed it very much. Please come and create your own adventure.

Free shows in the park. Bring your mats and towels and lawn chairs and snacks and enjoy! Right on the Hudson River! Today is RENT Adam pascal and Anthony Rapp live and today is the final performance here at the park for them.

Hudson River Cruise to the Statue of Liberty

Did the Hudson River cruise in New York City with beautiful views of NYC, Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty. There are many options online offering different package deals but must purchase your tickets in advance. Check it out next time you're in NYC there are many affordable options and so worth it. Happy Yelping :)

This pubic park runs four miles along Manhattans's west side from Chambers St. to 59th St. in NYC attracting over 17 million visits each year. The park offers a variety of recreational and educational activities along with great views of the Hudson River and the city. This 550 acre riverfront park is a beloved urban recreational paradise.

Came here the other night for a fun picnic and absolutely loved it! The park is gorgeous and there are tons of tables/chairs to sit on as well as places to lie down. Just be careful if you sit on the ground because there are a ton of dogs and a lot of dog poop on the grassy area. Besides that, this place is kept very well and tidy. One of the things I really do like is that this park has clean bathrooms, restaurants, and beautiful views of the skyline and river. Check out Pier 40 while you're here. IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC

New York City may be the "concrete jungle," but this park brings so much greenery to the city. Located along a stretch of the Hudson River, it is a fantastic place to walk, exercise, people watch, and just enjoy the view of Manhattan and Jersey. With the cooler weather, this really is the perfect place to be at in the city. Just feeling the fresh and cool breeze coming off of the river makes me happy. I would be more than happy to walk the entire stretch again in the future :)

Beautiful day and a beautiful park. Lots of people out, plenty of joggers and a very nice path. I think we walked about 5 miles in total.

Hudson River Park, Manhattan
Bruce K.

Extending some 4-5 miles alongside the west side of Manhattan, Hudson River Park is the second largest park in the borough after Central Park. The park rungs through Lower Manhattan, Greenwich Village, Chelsea, Midtown West and connects with both Riverside Park to the north and The Battery to the south. The park includes a number of tennis and soccer fields, batting ages, playgrounds, dog runs and has fantastic views of the Hudson and across the river to eastern New Jersey. It includes several of the North River piers along its length. We encountered the park just west of Chelsea Market on the way to Little Island park. There is at least this one spot at West 15th street with an open grass area, a number of tables and some shady spots for a picnic. Beautiful! [Review 15710 overall - 301 in New York - 1214 of 2021.]

Hudson River Park is pretty much the west coast of Manhattan. It runs from about Battery Park all the way to 59th. The main feature is the bike and jogging path. It has some nice views of New Jersey. Yes, there are some nice views of that. I have walked along the path awhile. It can get crowded so be careful. There's a few restrooms. Most are clean. They have lots of food vendors. Ignore these because they will rip you off. The path is a good place to get some exercise, for you and your pets. A lot of people walk their dogs. There's lots of free entertainment in the evenings like musicians. It also has some athletic areas along the path like baseball fields and some basketball courts. It also goes by the High Line. That one gets more crowded so try here to get more space.

Awesome park by the water! The views are amazing and it's a clean and wide path for walking, running, and biking. Highly recommend as a nice walk. Especially if you're planning on going to the World Trade Center.

Things I photographed during my hike on a beautiful day in June! Posted 05/10/19

One Summer day I decided to walk from my apartment across Central Park to the West Side. I began walking South down towards Hudson River Park starting around West 74th Street. I had a destination in mind. I was headed to Battery Park. Since it was early morning and clear skies I packed snacks and drinks to last the day. I have plenty of photos. I posted them at one time at the Yelp Page for each of the spots I visited that day. I stopped to photograph an Eleanor Roosevelt Sculpture in a Park, playgrounds, piers, ducks and more. I made my way to Chelsea Piers, I saw the location of the modern Whitney Museum. (I still need to go inside) I eventually ended up wandering my way to the battery. I don't remember the trip home!! Probably took the train. What a wonderful day and beautiful riverside park. I'm so glad someone had the forethought to create this recreational space. There's so much fun for residents in neighborhoods located adjacent to the park. It's cooler near the water on hot Summer Days too. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. My photos would tell you more of my story. I've got over 33,000 photos on my MacBook. When and if I find the ones from this day, I'll post them here. Just remember if you feel like a hike where you are not obstructed by traffic and intersections holding you up, take a long walk along Hudson River Park. The park is FREE! You have beautiful views, entertaining activities and I'm sure you will find food vendors along the way.

In typical SF techie style, one of my todos during my NYC stay was to visit the Google office above Chelsea Market. I could've taken the train from my hotel in Times Square - but why, when I can walk and see the city instead? A coworker recommended the piers for a nice quiet(!) walk in the city. I've had a lot on my mind lately, so I figured it was worth a shot. I've walked the Highline before, so I wanted to see something different - so I found the Hudson River Park on the map and set off on foot. I walked in the park from 44ish south to 14ish - it was a nice stroll. I enjoyed looking at the military vessels around the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum around Pier 84 and the small park around Pier 63. While I prefer the views walking along the Embarcardero in SF (my daily stroll back home), I appreciated how many benches there were all along the path. It was nice to see people from all walks of life - young and old, tourist and native, enjoying the walking path. I was also impressed by the well-demarcated bike path, which was separate from the road and the walking path. I actually bet the trail would be more fun on bike - something I'd like to try someday. I preferred the views from the Highline (and found it more pedestrian friendly, as some parts of the Hudson River Park trail go by industrial areas), but the Hudson River Park trail is longer and has little areas for people to rest. If I had more time, I would explore the other piers. It was definitely a nice change of pace to walk along the trail instead of down a busy city street. I can see why this trail is so highly rated by locals.

This is one of the best parks in the city in my opinion. It sits along the west side highway and there's a bike path that stretches all the way down to lower manhattan. You get amazing views of the lower manhattan skyline and overall a very clean park. On days when the weather is good there are many people out and about especially with dogs. There's tennis courts nearby but be warned the wait for those courts on the weekends is a long while. Its fairly quiet and peaceful in the evenings or after dusk.

Besides that, I never paid much mind to the park, especially in light of the fact that it's not in my stomping grounds. Nevertheless, I had just finished brunching nearby and since it was such a gorgeous day out, I decided to take a walk through the park and check it out. MSP is not large - the center of it is a large green space with paths on the perimeter that contain walking paths and benches. In addition to the Shake Shack, there's also a small seating area nearby where you can sit and eat, or just hang out. The park is ideal of people watching, eating your lunch, or just walking around a space that contrasts the hustle and bustle of the surrounding areas. Because of the weather, it was a little crowded but still pleasant. Overall, MSP is fine - it's not worth coming to unless you're in the area IMO, but a pleasant spot nonetheless.

You really feel like you are somewhere else for a little while inside the park. The trees act like a sound barrier fro the everyday hustle that is NYC. There is also a pretty good amount of seating especially around the fountain. The fountain adds a great sensory element to the park. There is a cute dog area with hills. Overall this is a great spot to find some shade and rest and reset before heading onto your next adventure. Located around the park is beautiful architecture, businesses, eateries and various stores. It's clean.

We were on our 4th game of 5 on 5 on this slanted, slippery court with double rims as the Midtown skyline looked over us. We had gone 3-0 and already on wobbly legs but wanted one more to really push ourselves to exhaustion and be WHOOPED. A group of 5 17 year olds showed up and I was lowkey like damn I don't wanna play these little kids for our last game but whatever, they got next. We were going back and forth, and to be fair they were actually pretty good but just too frail to give us any problems. At 5'10 174 lbs, I'm a BIG guard. I'm left handed, but shot a right handed floater fading to my right as I'm trying to get better. If you can hit a weak hand floater on the run you will be tough to stop. I bricked it and this little 17 year old kid goes "that's a TERRIBLE shot" looking at me dead in the eyes. Like bro y'all are losing and you suck why you talking? He woke me up and I started actually trying really hard and lowkey busting their ass... but tbh normally I'm not even that good. It was just one of those days where everything was falling. I hit a 3 and yelled out "THAT'S A LAYUP." I drove hard left, euro stepped and hit a tough finish through 2 and yelled "I"M TOO BIG," while flexing. I switched onto little homie and he took a terrible stepback shot after I turned him 3 times and bricked it. I just whispered to him "I don't even gotta say nothing after that one it speaks for itself" which really pissed him off. Then I hit the game winning 3 and did the Dame wave to him as he walked off the court PISSED as hell. I sat down and then he got the courage to say "STOP TALKING SO MUCH" while he put his hand together to mimic me YAPPING. I almost stood up and said "HOW BOUT U GET WIN?" But then I realized I'm a grown ass man and there is absolutely no reason to be jawing at this little kid on a beautiful Friday in New York City. I just kind of laughed at myself and asked what is wrong with me lol. All in all, these runs were kind of weak and this court is in horrendous condition. The court on the westside highway is still my favorite in the city. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

St. & Broadway New York, NY 10001 The Bucket Located in the Herald Square Holiday Market adjacent to Macy's is a chocolate chip cookie kiosk. This secret recipe was handcrafted by food influencer Ian Martin and Hungry Gnome bakery owner Danielle Sepsy. All cookies are freshly baked on the spot in these cookie ovens. An entire batch is immediately scooped up with a french fry scooper and handed off for your enjoyment. The Bucket: The primary ingredients in these cookies are all butter, brown sugar, and premium Callebaut chocolate. As soon as you try your first one, you will be far from done. They are warm and crispy on the outside while gooey on the inside. As a bonus, the holiday themed visual design on the bucket was hand drawn by Ian's sister. There is a decent amount of seating at the holiday market for you to enjoy your dessert. Be sure to arrive early because Ian's cookies are immensely popular and they will sell out. Stop by Ian's Cookie Jar kiosk at the Herald Square holiday market and indulge in this warm, gooey treat during the most wonderful time of the year. #ianscookiejar #chefdaniellesepsy #IanMartin #thehungrygnome #TheBucket #chocolatechipcookies #HeraldSquare #heraldsquareholidaymarket #nycholidaymarket #imma_eat_this #callebautchocolate #40cookies
