I visited the rooftop park at Pier 57 and it was honestly one of the best free views I’ve had in NYC. From up there, you get this wide, open view of the Hudson River, the skyline, and Little Island just across the way—it’s all so peaceful. I just walked in through the entrance near City Winery, took the stairs up, and suddenly I was in this quiet green space above the city. There were benches, open lawns, and the perfect spot to relax and take it all in. Check this out for the summer! So have your next picnic and take nice pics here!
