If you are visiting Little Island, highly recommend that you make a short detour to Pier 57 to check out their rooftop garden. From 4 stories up, you get a commanding view of Battery Park and Little Island, plus a much higher perspective of New Jersey compared to Little Island viewpoint. The best thing, it's FREE.
I saw a sign that a large food court will be opening up later in 2022, so this will probably become another popular tourist attraction.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 19, 20241 check-in
I visited here when I had a show at City Winery, which is on Pier 57. Home to Little Island, a lot of outdoor shows and events. There is a public rooftop garden. Lots of shops. A dining hall. As I mentioned, City Winery, where you can buy wine, have cocktails, see a show, have brunch or a light meal. The rooftop park has great views of the water, the city skyline, and a cool alternative view of Little Island. It's also where the Titanic was originally supposed to arrive. The pier gate (in my photos) is still there!
A dog friendly space, a place for runners, bikers, skateboarders, or to just sit and enjoy one of New York's many public spaces.
I don't spend a ton of time in Chelsea, but this is a wonderful, worthwhile spot to spend an afternoon or the whole day.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Aug 19, 20241 check-in
My friend and I finally checked this spot out after passing it many times. We walked in and headed straight to the rooftop where the bus are beautiful. It was a hot summer so we got seats in the shade and just relaxed and enjoyed our city gorgeous skyline. There were a lot of people coming and going. There's plenty of space for you to enjoy without others crowding you. The elevator took us to the main roof top then we realized there was an upper level where you had to walk the stairs for a higher view. We took some pictures and chilled before we went downstairs to the food court for lunch.
The day was hot and muggy so it felt great being inside the cool air conditioned food court. They have several food options you can choose from like Indian, Jamaican, Mexican, Korean along with dessert spots. I didn't realize the food court was considered "Market 57." Initially we were going to eat outside and enjoy our food looking at the views. However, that sun and humidity said uh uh. lol so back inside we went. We had to look for seats because it was pretty crowded but found some within a few minutes.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 35612933845Aug 7, 20241 check-in
It is worth going to this pier park. Amazing how they transformed the place to a well visited site. The building has a star rated winery, food hall, recreation spaces, office spots, rooftop park and great view of Hudson River. Location is convenient to transportation, in the heart of famous Chelsea area and has great views of LES and Jersey. The pier is next to one of the city's tourist attractions Little Island.
We stayed for sunset and was unforgettable summer get together with my girlfriends.
Will always put in my heart to return if given an opportunity.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 7, 2024
Great free public space that has lots of food options and seating throughout.
Expect to pay about $15-20 for meals, $4 for soft drinks and $10 for beers...on par with similar places like this.
The Pier also offers some amazing views of Hudson Yards to the North and Little Island and the Freedom Tower to the South.
The views are even better on their rooftop park...also free and open to the public until 1am. Accessible by stairs or elevator.
Most food stands open until about 8am, but the Pier itself is open until 1am.
Clean bathrooms.
Very close to both Little Island and the Chelsea Market...very convenient include this in a daytrip to this area and visit all three places. They are all free to enter.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jul 29, 2024Updated review
It's now one of New York City's largest public rooftop parks. Pier 57 is located on W 15 St. & Hudson River Park -- a mixture of office space (Google), a public park, and a food Hall with 16 vendors. The beautiful views from the Rooftop Park at Pier 57 are a sight to behold.
Offers stunning panoramic views of Lower Manhattan and New York Harbor. It's the perfect place to have a picnic, gather with friends, or enjoy a sunset. Guests can access the park from Pier 57's ground floor southern entrance, directly across from Little Island, or take the stairs or elevator from inside.
The best view of the little island can be seen from the south side of the Rooftop
The rooftop itself offers views of Little Island with its mushroom-shaped pylons to the south and the Chelsea Piers golf-driving range to the north from its window-side counter seats.
Offering incredible views of Hudson River Park, the New York City skyline, and New York Harbor, the rooftop is the perfect place to add to your morning walk routine, meet for a lunchtime picnic, and gather with friends for an unforgettable sunset.Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 3Oh no 0Jul 14, 2024Previous reviewPier 57, a massive structure that juts out over the Hudson River around 15th Street- has an altogether different vibe. It's a new, renovated, noteworthy amount of public space, including a large and well-appointed "living room" with free Wi-Fi; a two-acre rooftop park; and Market 57, a food hall with 16 vendors.
Nestled within the historic Pier 57, the market serves as a hub for small business owners and entrepreneurs in the food industry,
Fact: Originally built in 1907, for the past 20 years, Pier 57 in New York City has sat vacant. It was once a cruise terminal and transit depot, and it's even listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It was redeveloped and re-opened in 2023 as a vibrant destination.
Market 57 offers views of Little Island with its mushroom-shaped towers to the south and the Chelsea Piers golf-driving range to the north from its window-side counter seats.
Indoor seats include raised circular tables with stools and counters at some stalls. The food seems more carefully curated than at other food courts, with stalls that include Indian, Thai, Caribbean, Mexican, Japanese, and Chinese food counters, with prices on par with other halls but in many cases of higher quality. - 504431054Jul 17, 20241 check-in
I visited this area for a hybrid Toastmasters Club meeting in Oyster classroom. When I got to Pier 57, I thought it would be easy to find but I had to ask around to find out. Pier 57 itself is a nice place filled with little restaurants, shops, and conference rooms/ classrooms. It's very close to the Little Island.
I had a nice time and look forward to visiting this place again.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jun 22, 2024
A nice pier is next to the little island and Highline, and there is a nice-sized food court. I heard about this place about a month ago, and we were in NYC, so we decided to stop by. It's open to the public. They have a good food court with all kinds of drinks and food on the 1st floor and an open-top park on the 2nd floor. Nice view of the Hudson River. I enjoyed stopping here. I tried dumplings from one of the restaurants in the food court, and we liked them. Will visit again.

Really enjoy the concept of this space! Not only is there a food court featuring various cuisines, but also conference/rooms for meetings and a beautiful roof top area!
The rooftop area is my fav. It provides beautiful views of the Hudson River, Chelsea area/west side, and parts of NJ. Perf for showing friends/family around when they visit! It's free and has 2 levels. I can totally see hangouts or mini picnics happening here. Elevator/stair access was a little harder to find but can be access if you walk further into the building.
The food area offers a wide range of options but be mindful that they have a little break between lunch and dinner rush. When I went around 430ish a lot of things weren't reopening until 5pm.
The pier building also has a bunch of tables with plugs that I can see people doing work/meeting up here. Would be very cool to attend a conference here!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Jul 25, 2024
Food court with all types of food, area for working and relaxing, and really nice free, outdoor park on top of the building - it's a great way to walk around and enjoy some AC too on a hot day. From the top of the building, you can get a good view of Little Island and downtown, as well as uptown from the other side. Very green and there are free bathrooms to use as well, very clean and new. Not much shade though.
