The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Greenwich Village
Commonly known as “the Village” to New Yorkers, it was here in Greenwich Village that both 1960’s counter culture and the LGBT movement were born. Famous for its bohemian past, head to Washington Square Park to get a feel for this diverse and energetic neighbourhood. You’ll find NYU students, street performers, skateboarders, kids frolicking in the fountain, and locals relaxing and playing chess. Stroll the streets to discover a mix of majestic town homes and hidden bars and restaurants that give this neighbourhood an old-school residential feel. When the sun goes down, check out one of the famous jazz or comedy clubs that still packs them in every night.

    Reclaim the Riverfront!
    This is a new linear park along the river. An extraordinary place to take a long walk because there is so much to see: The river, the landscaping, the great skyline, which keeps growing. This is one of the best places in Manhattan, they were so smart to reclaim the riverfront and make it available to the people.

    Beautiful park alongside the Hudson River
    I walked along this park briefly to get to pier 66 and it is so beautiful. You have view of the Hudson River, Hudson Yards, Chelsea, the Freedom Tower, there are so many piers that you can explore, it is great! The park is beautiful, has tons of flowers, and provides much needed shade on a sunny day. I highly recommend!

    Absolutely wonderful place to hangout. Everything available to a family including bathrooms. Enjoy private volleyball courts, grab a meal on the Grand Banks boat, children playgrounds, dog park or grab a chair and book and hangout under the shade at the end of the pier. I could spend the entire day here.

Relaxing waterfront
Sep 2023 • Solo
Along Manhattan's western waterfront, Hudson River Park is the perfect answer to experience the grandeur and affluence of New York. A stroll along the well-signposted boardwalk offers a first-hand glimpse of the Big Apple and New Jersey across the river. There are also well-maintained sports facilities for locals. An excellent pastime for all.

Nice area
May 2023 • Family
We visited pier 51 which was a lovely children’s play park. The children played and we looked at the amazing views of the financial district and over to New Jersey.

There is a water feature so take spare clothes/shoes.

Lovely views across the river
Aug 2022
What a lovely part of the city. Well worth the 20 minute walk to the river from our apartment.
My sons and I had a picturesque and tranquil walk along the Hudson on our way from the Flatiron district to the One World Trade Centre. A bit of a detour, but a lovely experience.

Fabulous Asia society museum.
Aug 2022 • Family
Great energy in city but it is so expensive. Also rise of poverty and drug use more evident. Best experience in some of the few remaining awesome bookstores. Museums way too expensive. Best experience was definitely the Asia Society museum, it was fabulous helpful staff especially the beautiful helpful lady in the shop.
