High Line, Chelsea and Hudson Yards Tour with Edge Entry Option

Your tour starts with a visit to Little Island, a unique public park located on the Hudson River at Pier 55. Opened in 2021, it features a striking design with tulip-shaped concrete pillars rising from the water, creating an elevated green space. The park spans 2.4 acres and offers scenic views, landscaped gardens, winding pathways, and open lawns. It also hosts an amphitheater for live performances and various cultural events. Little Island serves as a tranquil urban oasis, blending nature, art, and community engagement in the heart of Manhattan.

Then, you wil head to The Meatpacking District, a trendy neighborhood located on Manhattan's west side. Originally an industrial area known for its meatpacking plants, it has transformed into a vibrant hotspot for fashion, art, and nightlife. The cobblestone streets are lined with high-end boutiques, chic restaurants, and stylish hotels. The district is also home to cultural landmarks like the Whitney Museum of American Art and the southern entrance to the High Line, an elevated urban park. The Meatpacking District blends historic charm with modern luxury, making it a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.

Your next stop is at Chelsea Market, a bustling indoor marketplace located in the heart of the Chelsea neighborhood. Housed in a historic former Nabisco factory, the market offers a diverse array of food vendors, artisanal shops, and unique retailers. Your guide will tell you about all the things you can enjoy there, from gourmet groceries to international cuisines, as well as local craft items and specialty products. With its industrial-chic vibe and eclectic mix of offerings, Chelsea Market is a popular destination for food lovers and shoppers alike.
You will be able to know all about it before heading back there after your tour. The time constraint does not allow for a thorough visit of the market nor time to shop.

Your next stop is a wonderful piece of creativity! The High Line is a linear park built on a former elevated railroad track on Manhattan's west side. Stretching 1.45 miles from the Meatpacking District to Hudson Yards, the park offers lush gardens, art installations, and sweeping views of the city and Hudson River. The High Line is a unique urban green space that blends nature with the industrial history of New York City, making it a popular spot for walking, relaxing, and enjoying the outdoors.

After that lovely High Line walk, time for your last stop of the tour: Hudson Yards. It is a cutting-edge development on Manhattan's west side, renowned for its iconic attractions, The Vessel and The Edge. The Vessel is a striking, honeycomb-like structure composed of interconnected staircases, offering visitors unique perspectives and panoramic views of the city. Nearby, The Edge stands as the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere, extending 100 floors above the ground with a glass floor section for an exhilarating view straight down. These landmarks, along with luxury shopping and dining, make Hudson Yards a must-visit destination in NYC.

After waving goodbye to your guide, it is to finish the tour on a climax, seeing NYC from atop at The Edge!
It is a remarkable observation deck located at Hudson Yards positioned on the 100th floor of 30 Hudson Yards. Standing at 1,131 feet above the ground, it is the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere. The deck extends 80 feet out from the building, creating a thrilling "floating in the sky" experience.

One of the Edge's most striking features is its glass floor section, allowing visitors to look straight down at the streets of Manhattan far below. The glass walls of the deck are angled outward, providing unobstructed, panoramic views of the city skyline, the Hudson River, and beyond. The Edge offers a unique perspective of New York City and perfect spot to relax before your next New York adventure!
