“These streets will make you feel brand new, Big lights will inspire you” Alicia Keys nyc times
Hudson Yards is a new 28-acre development on Manhattan’s West Side. The mixed-use complex contains upscale shopping and dining, a mall, 14-acres of public space, and unique architecture.
The Vessel is a 150-ft. tall edifice at the heart of Hudson Yards. This interactive sculptural structure consists of 154 interconnecting stairways with 2,500 steps and 80 landings. The 87 carbon steel prefabricated pieces were made in Italy, shipped here and assembled into a honeycomb like structure at a cost of $200-million. Visitors can climb the steps and tickets are free. #hudsonyardsnewyork

Please Read The FTC has a law requiring web sites to let their readers know if any of the stories are "sponsored" or compensated. We also are to let readers know if any of our links are ads. Most are not. They are just a way to direct you to more information about the article where the link is placed. We also have several ads on our pages. They are clearly marked as ads. I think readers are smart enough to know an ad when they see one but to obey the letter of the law, I am putting this statement here to make sure everyone understands. American Roads and Global Highways may contain affiliate links or ads. Further, as their bios show, most of the feature writers are professional travel writers. As such we are frequently invited on press trips, also called fam trips. On these trips most of our lodging, dining, admissions fees and often plane fare are covered by the city or firm hosting the trip. It is an opportunity to visit places we might not otherwise be able to visit. However, no one tells us what to write about those places. All opinions are 100% those of the author of that feature column. |
