Understanding Chelsea and Hudson Yards

The High Line is a public park built on an elevated railway. Its gardens and art use the old transport structure to give a different view of the surrounding streets. That railway setting is the useful connection between the park and the neighborhood’s industrial past.

Hudson Yards adds a much newer built environment. Vessel, designed by Thomas Heatherwick and Heatherwick Studio, is intended to be entered and explored; it is a separate attraction from the public square around it.

Places to explore

  • The High Line

    Chelsea to Hudson Yards

    Explore elevated gardens and art on the former railway, with views of the surrounding streets. Consult the park's current opening information before setting out.

    Read the NYFE place guide

  • Chelsea Market

    Ninth Avenue between West 15th and 16th streets

    Use the indoor market for food and shopping choices. Confirm individual vendor hours, which can differ from building opening. Organized tour groups have special entrance and time restrictions.

  • Vessel

    Hudson Yards Public Square and Gardens

    Choose a ticketed visit to enter the structure, and consult the official ticket page for the current experience.

Planning a visit

Chelsea Market lists the A, C, E or L to 14th Street at Eighth Avenue. Select a Hudson Yards destination separately if that is where you want to begin.

Check the High Line's current entrances and elevator status with its operator. Use Vessel's visitor rules for a visit inside the structure.
