- AwayDays_RichMacclesfield, UK1,517 contributionsCame here to see The Band of Horses playing on the rooftop. There can't be many better ways to see one of your favourite bands than in the open air, with a limited crowd and Brooklyn Bridge behind the stage.
People on here complaining about the prices. One thing you should know, especially as a UK tourist, any entertainment venues will have extortionate drinks prices. We ate and drank well beforehand.
Slight issue with over officious staff who wouldn't let my other half back in when she wandered outside by mistake but all ended well. Can't blame them too much these days where security is concerned.Written 3 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was surely a special experience when one considers this place was in its previous life, a shipping terminal as well as a cargo storage area. It boggles the mind to think that latterly it even served as the the Hudson Pier Bus Depot for the New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA). It would have required vision, blended with imagination and courage to embark on a project such as this to transform it then into a destination for the discerning foodie.
We went there at lunchtime and not unsurprisingly it was busy. Families and children, couples and groups of friends seem to flock to the place. With so many cuisines in offer, it made for a difficult choice. Of course, one could be tempted , like we did, to sample a range of dishes from different stalls.
Uniquely, food was freshly cooked, while you waited.By definition, this was indeed fast-food. Naturally, the food was fresh, hot and tasty. And everything appeared to be done maintaining high hygiene standards.
There are commodious elevators that take you up to the viewing area where one is treated to panoramic views of New York harbour and the Lower Manhattan skyline. And when you get there you could take time to spend on wooden benches to relax and enjoy the breathtaking sights around the Hudson. Or even have a picnic! Looking out in the right direction, in the far distance, one can spot the Statue of Liberty.
One may then opt to take the steps (or the elevator) up to the highest floor and there you’ll find a massive roof top park. A profusion of flowers bringing colour in well tended raised beds covering almost two acres!Written 28 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was dark and freezing when we visited but we sat on one of the swings and watched all the traffic crossing the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. You can get some great views of the city, Brooklyn and the river from here so it was a great find!Written 28 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JackOld Bethpage, NY3,384 contributionsPier 45 is a very long pier with a great view of the skyline. There weren’t many people there when I went, and it can be quite windy, but there is a great view of New Jersey as well as the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.Written 31 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA18,518 contributionsWe often sail on Cunard and of course come and go from Brooklyn. So it was a delight to find the historic pier in Manhattan that was used by Cunard and the Titanic. It's history.Written 23 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- PlatinumHoneyLos Angeles, CA1,981 contributionsTake in the Hudson, the cool October breeze, the lights across the river, the path that hugs the water...all so very pleasant and well done, NY!Written 10 October 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Compass476860463503 contributionsWe visited this wonderful club a couple of times while on a short visit to NY. A wonderful experience to have an oasis of calm in a very hectic city.
The meal we had was excellent, the service was friendly and the club is obviously proud of its long history.Written 3 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
