COOL THINGS IN JAPAN YOU MUST SEE
Hudson Yards is the creation of several New York City departments that collaborated to develop an area of the city that was previously neglected. Now it is one of Manhattan’s most coveted neighborhoods.
Hudson Yards lies to the east of the Hudson River and is home to upscale shopping centers, a large residential community, restaurants (including one of my favorites Jose Andres’ Little Spain) and outdoor art projects including The Vessel.
Today the High Line blooms with native flora, public art work and remarkable views of the surrounding iconic New York City sights.
Little Island is 2.4 acres of meticulously landscaped flora- all 350 species worth, undulating over the tulip-shaped moorings interspersed with wooded walkways. The views of Manhattan, needless to say, are awesome.
Yes, it’s a market selling food products, but it is also a foodie heaven with restaurants offering many different ethnic cuisines, some in snack bar form, others in high-end restaurants.
Today, the area is all about high-end stores, trendy restaurants, exciting clubs and rooftop bars.
