Pier 40

Hard to complain about water a midnight cruise. The music was poppin and the crowd of people were really good.

Mera's tip: Dance dance and enjoy the views

Cool pier, a nice view of yachts, boats, and more, and a good place to run along side of the pier.

It's a good spot for tourists if you want to check out the lunch or dinner cruise here too.

I ventured over to this area with my sister the other evening to try out City Vineyard, the newest Restaurant Bar & Wine Garden to set up shop on Pier 26. The area is beautiful, boasting views of the Hudson River, NJ and NYC skylines. There is a dog park nearby as well as a walkway which makes it easily accessible by foot or bicycle. Parking is available across the street but only on Sundays or Mon-Fri after 6/7pm. I've never been on this side of the West Side Hwy this far downtown but I was definitely feeling the vibe, probably more so since it has been sunny, warm and bustling with people.

At the boathouse, they offer kayak rentals; I'm unsure of the price but I did notice a sign on Wednesday that said they were offering free kayak rentals that day. There is a dog park with a dog run, lots of benches for people and view-watching and there is even a few patches of green to sit on and relax.

It's a beautiful place to watch the boats and kayakers passing by or maybe enjoy a drink and a bite to eat.

I've been wanting to bike ride the length of the West Side and it's good to know that there's a nice spot awaiting for a reprieve before having to head back North.

It's a nice view to reflect, take a walk, or have conversations with others. I wish I lived nearby so that I could have time to myself while enjoying a view. They also have courts to play various sports. If you're sporty and want a change of scenery, I recommend.

Came for a brunch cruise hosted by Suede Restaurant in Brooklyn on the hornblower yacht. My sister wanted to do something different for her birthday. We arrived at 2 pm to board and didn't start sailing until 5:30 pm.
Other then the late start it was a great boat ride. Reggae music, good food and super packed. The host was a dj from WBLS. (I can not recall his name. He dj on Sunday nights always playing Reggae tunes.)
Mr. Vegas made an appearance and sang some old and new hits.
It was a beauitful atmosphere on the boat. The NY view was lovely. Definitely will come back.

Tickets were $60

Met with friends for a three hour cruise around Manhattan. The staff was very helpful. The boat pushed off on time at 9 pm. We got great seats near the window and had fantastic views of the city by night. The music was pumping. The dance floor was full all the time!
However th music was of one genre. Not sure if that was the theme of the boat ride, but we( at our table) would have appreciated different types of music. Line dances are always popular. The DJ only played The Electric Slide! The bathrooms were not kept clean throughout the whole event.
Overall, we had a good time enjoying friends' company.

Convenient parking and they even have a soccer field. Nice views of NJ and great location

Is very nice pier.
The boat parties usually depart from here.
It has a huge football

From their web site, Hudson River Park, "the longest waterfront park in the United States, has transformed five miles of decaying piers and parking lots along Manhattan's West side into a beloved, urban recreational paradise."

Pier 26 is a welcome addition to the sprawling Hudson River Park, located right next to...you guessed it - pier 25. Open for events, but still under construction, Pier 26 has been home to a handful of concerts that we were able to enjoy during our beach volleyball games right next door. Most recently, they hosted Rapture on the River in conjunction with gay pride week and the recent federal legislation.

A few of us took a walk over to further explore, and learned that they're setting up a large dog park, some environmental habitats, a boathouse, and a restaurant. I'm assuming that once the pier is completely finished, they probably won't host concerts; all that foot traffic works best on the concrete that's there right now.

As a frequent visitor to Pier 25, I'm continuing to watch the ongoing development from right next door, and look forward to the soon-to-be-finished Pier 26!

WHOA ! Wait a minute before you give this place five stars. Pier 40 needs a serious security upgrade. There is a criminal element here & I'm not the only one who says so.
