NEW YORK | Little Island | Thomas Heatherwick | 2021
Thomas Heatherwick designed the "Vessel", and interactive art installation in the Hudson Yards. People either love or hate it, but it is the visual centerpiece of the complex.

^This thing is getting a ton of press in the design community. It looks like an amazing set of spaces. I'm hoping to see it later this summer.
|
This is a wonderful innovative design and provides a dynamic alternative to the other pier spaces nearby (some of which are very nice in their own right).

If you can, try to reserve as early as possible, because I think it's still limited to 800 people at a time. It has a 2,000 person capacity, but maybe later in the summer we'll be closer to capacity at everything. Maybe if you go early, you won't need it... https://littleisland.org/timed-entry-reservations In the meantime... https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/n...?adppopup=true https://media.gettyimages.com/photos...97?s=2048x2048 https://media.gettyimages.com/photos...82?s=2048x2048 |

It’s exactly like the renderings and it came true… :)

^ It sure is. This is just a small piece in a larger whole that is Hudson River Park. The greatest resource the city has for it's residents and visitors is its waterfront, which is endless. It's great that over the last few decades, the waterfront has been being reclaimed from industrial use, and turned over to "the people". There are constantly new spaces re-opening, and in every borough.
Just below this site will be the Gansevoort Peninsula, which will feature more open and recreational space in it's design... https://hudsonriverpark.org/app/uplo...CB2-Slides.pdf More Little Island... https://www.instagram.com/p/CPS4WSSrqSy/ https://www.picuki.com/hosted-by-ins...c_sid%3D4f375e https://www.picuki.com/hosted-by-ins...c_sid%3D4f375e https://www.picuki.com/hosted-by-ins...c_sid%3D4f375e https://twitter.com/HudsonRiverPark/...582273/photo/1 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E1xwKjQW...pg&name=medium https://www.instagram.com/p/CPng4kYMika/ https://www.picuki.com/hosted-by-ins...c_sid%3D4f375e https://www.instagram.com/p/CPqKhGBLr-3/ https://www.picuki.com/hosted-by-ins...c_sid%3D4f375e |

If you guys haven't been, this is a must-see.
Arguably one of the top NYC visitor must-sees, IMO. |

Reservations are needed if arriving after noon. Do you know how crowded it typically is prior to that on a weekend? |
I had to postpone my own visit, which was during the day. But it looks like night time is the right time...
