Walk the three sprawling levels of the Observatory and discover surprises along the way.
United Nations Headquarters - Outside visit only.
This building in New York City has served as the global headquarters of the United Nations since 1952. The area has extraterritoriality status, meaning it is technically not bound by the laws of New York or even the United States.

Little Island - Little Island, a new, free public park pier within the larger Hudson River Park, opened to the public on May 21, 2021, providing New Yorkers and visitors from around the world with a unique green space unlike any other in New York City.

The Vessel - Hudson Yards - Vessel & Lunch stop (Total time spend here: 75 mins, Lunch pay byself)
The huge structure at the Hudson Yards landscape gallery, the center of the square and the visual focus is called Vessel (container), which looks like a strange cup-shaped vessel and looks like a huge honeycomb. Some people regard it as a building, calling it “the Eiffel Tower in New York”, and some people think it is an art installation called the “real version of the Monument Valley.” Appreciate the architecture from different angles to discover the unique beauty, which is a great place for your friends to punch cards.
