Vessel

Beautiful and distinctive structure in NYC. Great for picture opt and very Instagrammable place to visit. Beautiful during the when the sun beaming with amazing views of the city. Unfortunately, it's closed to climbing to the higher level for safety reasons.

The Vessel is a really neat structure to see. It will most likely be closed from walking to the top for the rest of time due to unfortunate incidences. Here's some facts about the Vessel to peak your interest.

The structure of 16 stories costs around 200 million dollars. Consists of 154 interconnecting flights of stairs. The staircase is made of bronzed-steel and concrete. Majority of the structure was fabricated in Italy. It was built as an attraction to capture the world's attention. It even has an elevator on the located on the inside of the structure. Had a limit of holding 1,000 people at a time.

PROs - fantastic architecture , photogenic place ..
CONS.- closed for public to enter inside , not many good places to eat around .

THE VESSEL has become one of the iconic buildings in New York . They just recently built this but because of its amazing architecture , this has become a photographers paradise . It has almost become one of the MUST SEE places in New York .. it is also next to Hudson yards EDGE , which is yet another To-Do place .. it is a bit expensive though. Vessel is temporary closed to enter though. Wish we had a chance to see it from inside . I heard it is really colorful during Christmas time .

Not many eateries around except a few food carts which are super duper expensive and tastes average .. there is a mall next door but I didn't see many eateries in there . There is a coffee shop though and also a Starbucks close by. Loved the open theater setup at the rear and loved those seats . Very comfortable . Parking is a bit tricky . We had to park few blocks away . Do not park anywhere closer to vessel . There is also a train station next door for anyone using public transportation. Overall loved this place ..

This cool looking bronze honeycomb-like structure was built to be the centerpiece of the Hudson Yards neighborhood. It is 16 stories and 150 feet tall and is comprised of 154 interconnecting flights of stairs. I have seen pictures of the Vessel before and wanted to check it out after walking on the High Line to Hudson Yards. Vessel is a visitor attraction that was part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project in Manhattan Midtown West and opened in 2019.

The plaza around Vessel is really nice with lots of trees and plants and a cultural center. I got to see this structure during the day and at night. It is a sight to see at night with the New York City skyline behind it. There are a lot of stairs and you get great views of the nearby Hudson River from the top. Despite some of the criticism surrounding it, Vessel is still an impressive piece of architecture. Even though it is closed indefinitely, I was able to stand underneath it and get a glimpse of its interior.

Hudson Yards is a luxury real estate development near Chelsea and Hell's Kitchen. It has several structures that contain residences, office buildings, restaurants, hotels and a mall. The highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere "The Edge" is in the 30 Hudson Yards skyscraper next to Vessel. The Vessel was built during Phase One of the Hudson Yards development at a cost of around $150 million.

Looks cool but it's shutdown so no one can enter or go up to see the views. But still a great place to take photos.

The Vessel is interesting, because it is an interdisciplinary piece. It is an outdoor public park, a sculpture, and an architectural work. Currently, people can not walk up the stairs in the Vessel.

This beautiful architecture in NYC is definitely of different aspects. Great to see. Wanted to see it although it was close. There no admission to climb the top due accident that previously occurred. The vessel is definitely good to admired from the bottom and great to take pictures.

Glad I could finally see this spot I saw so many times on Instagram! It's too bad they shut down inside access for safety reasons, but it still looked so cool from the outside

It is really sad that this attraction and interactive art piece is closed even more sad as to the reason why.

We were not aware of this, of course, until we got there and ultimately decided we didn't want to walk all around the structure due to the high level of walking we were already doing being in NYC. Seeing the structure was beautiful all in itself, so we weren't upset about not climbing all the stairs. Even with being closed, spending time around the art piece at different times of the day gives you gorgeous different views, especially during Christmas time with all the trees around the piece lit up. Wish I had the time to go back and take those pictures at night.

Maybe one day, they will be able to design some additional safety measures that wouldn't subtract to the views or designs of the piece. You can walk around the bottom level, but I did read that during the winter months, even that is closed.

Regardless, it's still an amazing structure, and I am glad we got to see it in person.

I can't believe the vessel is closed! Unfortunate the reason why but this super cool attraction was amazing to be a part of.

When I first saw it, it looked like a true beehive. The best part was being able to climb the stairs and see the city in every angle I was at.

Nonetheless I feel like despite not being able to climb stairs, seeing it is already startling.

Cool to look at. Unique art. Used to be fun to go up on it. I was one of the lucky ones years ago before they closed it down from walking up. I recently visited again and heard it's been closed as an attraction for a long time.
