Hudson River Park is one of my favorite places in New York City. But there’s one part of the park that I really love and that’s the remnants of Pier 54 just below 14th Street.
At the moment, Pier 54 is a gigantic slab of concrete and gravel that extends quite far into the Hudson River. It’s very wide and very long and every time I go, there are only a few people making use of one of the larger flat surfaces in and around New York City. I love going in there to just ride circles on my bike or walk around and look across to New Jersey.
I don’t know why more people don’t make use of the space as it is free to enter. But hey, for now, I’m really liking that it’s so quiet and desolate there.
Today, I was there just killing some time and I decided to take a 180-degree panorama of the view towards the East. Click on the image above for a larger version.


This is the nastiest body of water in the world besides the London Canal system.
Anna and I in a week found four dead bodies that we had to pull out and help investigators with.
Great choice pal!
I didn’t say I like the Hudson River. Did you read this post at all?
Did you write it because this is what you wrote, ” Hudson River Park is one of my favorite places in New York City…” So when you say it is one of your favorite places that is implying that you like it. This is the definition of favorite from Webster online dic or DICK for you….” 1: one that is treated or regarded with special favor or liking ; especially : a person who is specially loved, trusted, or provided with favors by someone of high rank or authority. “
By the way that’s not the Hudson River….hehe but you’re close….you’re real close….if you really want to go there then keep acting like that and I am sure somebody will take you there then you can explore the WHOLE thing.
