The Highlights

Location

This elevated greenway stretches along Manhattan’s west side, connecting Hudson Yards to the Meatpacking District. As you walk its length, you’ll pass through Chelsea’s gallery scene, pass by public art, and discover some of the city’s most talked-about restaurants and cultural spaces. Hard Rock Hotel New York is just a short walk from the southern entrance, giving you easy access to nearby favorites like Little Island, The Shed, and Chelsea Market.

Events

There’s always something happening along the path. Outdoor film screenings, live performances, artist talks, and seasonal festivals bring the city’s creative energy to life. Upcoming favorites include After Sunset, a free movie series under the stars, and Open Studios, where you can meet artists and explore their work.

Art

Public installations line the walkway, offering a rotating showcase of sculptures, murals, and interactive pieces. Current highlights include Sable Elyse Smith’s C.R.E.A.M., a glowing neon structure, and Gabriela Salazar’s sculptural works, which transform construction materials into poetic forms.

Gardens

Designed by Piet Oudolf, the gardens feature over 500 species of plants that shift with the seasons. Spring bursts with color, summer hums with life, and fall glows with golden grasses. It’s a peaceful retreat above the city, where nature and architecture meet.
