This pier is one of my favorite free spots to enjoy an amazing view of the Hudson River and the stunning skyline of New Jersey and Manhattan. It's especially breathtaking during sunset when the sky turns to hues of orange and pink. The best things in life are free, and this view is certainly one of them. The second best things can be very expensive. It is a special place for me due to proximity to my home and it's also my go to place to have a walk, jog or cycle along the river , which is incredibly soothing and rejuvenating. So, whether you're a local or just visiting, I highly recommend taking a stroll down this pier and taking in the stunning sights of the city.
Large pier with views of the Intrepid sea air space museum, Hudson river and new Jersey. Great location to view fleet week and parade of ships. There's a small dog park, for the kids a water fountain for those hot summer days. Lots of seating, lawn area with trees and shaded areas. Bike, kayak and paddle board rentals. Live bands in the summer. Bathrooms
What a beautiful place with breathtaking view. It is a vibrant waterfront spot with scenic views, outdoor dining, kayaking, fishing, gardens, and a relaxing escape amidst the city.
We enjoy our time on the pier and while we made the tour on the boat. Great activity
