When did Hudson Yards NYC open?
10 Hudson Yards opened in 2016 and became the new home for Coach, L’Oreal, VaynerMedia, Alphabet’s Sidewalk Labs, the Boston Consulting Group, and others. Residents began moving into 15 Hudson Yards in February. Office tenants began moving into 55 Hudson Yards in 2018.
March 15, 2019 was the development’s grand opening, and at that time the shops (including Neiman Marcus, Cartier, and Roles), restaurants, and public plaza debuted, as well as Thomas Heatherwick's vertiginous Vessel sculpture.
How do you get to the Hudson Yards?
You can take the 7 subway line to the 34th St. Hudson Yards station. Or, you can stroll along the High Line, which traces the development’s southern edge and defines the site’s western boundary. For more novel forms of transit, you can take the ferry, or—if you are so inclined—a helicopter to a nearby heliport.

What can you do at the Hudson Yards?
Though the office buildings and residences are obviously open to tenants only, Hudson Yards is home to 14 acres of publicly accessible space brimming with entertainment.
The Shed: Dazzle Your Senses with World-Class Art
The Shed is an arts center with gallery spaces, an artists' lab, and rehearsal spaces. It's also home to The McCourt—a large theater that can seat an audience of more than 1200. The Shed works with artists across every discipline. In 2019, Icelandic artist Björk held a concert series at the Shed. Michael Bay also held the premiere for his film Underground 6 at The Shed.
Equinox Hotel: Stay Over in Style
Out-of-towners can stay over (and potentially score knockout abs) at the first-ever Equinox Hotel at 35 Hudson Yards.
The Edge: See the City Like You've Never See It
Visitors are able to take in dizzying views at Edge, the highest outdoor observation deck in the Western Hemisphere, jutting from 30 Hudson Yards. The Edge features a glass bottom and provides 360-degree views of the city.
The Vessel: Climb Sky-High
The Vessel is the veritable center of the Hudson Yards. This interactive sculpture is meant to be climbed. Visitors can ascend 150 feet via seemingly endless staircases. There are 80 landings within the sculpture. It's an experience you have to try at least once if you're at the Hudson Yards.
Dine at the Hudson Yards Restaurants
Hudson Yards is a veritable cornucopia of star chefs and dining venues. Diners can indulge in modern British cuisine at D&D London’s Queensyard, or (for a more fast-casual option) nosh on fried chicken at David Chang’s f*cku. In addition to f*cku and Queensyard, you can also dine Electric Lemon, Estiatorio Milos, Hudson Yards Grill, Mercado Little Spain, Momof*cku, and Teak Tea Room.
Shop at the Hudson Yards Mall
The Hudson Yards mall spans more than 700,000 square feet and is home to more than 70 luxury retailers, including:
