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.
