Beautiful place! Great view of the bridge and skyline of city . Lovely positive vibes around there as it's mostly tourists . We witnessed three weddings in 30degree temp! They be crazyyy!

Brittany Sübers

There are some incredible views in the park and the sunsets are stellar. There's el fornino for food but otherwise I wouldn't suggest going on an empty stomach. Go for the scenery.

Probably my favorite park in NYC, in part because of the skyline views but mostly because of the Michael Van Valkenburgh design.

Free kayaking on Saturdays at Pier 2, and I think the roller rink is open now. Get pizza at Juliana's while around there. Pizza is as good as Grimaldi's and you can get a table faster!
