Discover more about Pier 57

Pier 57, located at 25 11th Ave in New York City, is a unique waterfront destination that combines historical significance with modern amenities. Originally built in the early 1950s, the pier served as a shipping terminal before becoming a bus depot for the city. Vacant since 2003, it has been transformed into a mixed-use space that opened to the public in April 2023. The pier's innovative design includes three large concrete caissons supporting the structure, a feature that earned it a place on the National Register of Historic Places. These caissons, constructed in a drained pond and floated down the Hudson River, provide unique basement spaces. The renovation maintains the pier's industrial past while adding modern elements such as angled windows and a glass pavilion on the rooftop. Today, Pier 57 offers a variety of attractions, including Market 57, a food hall curated by the James Beard Foundation, which highlights local, independent, and diverse food vendors. The pier also features community classrooms, a living room area, and Hudson River Park’s Discovery Tank. The rooftop park provides open space with city views and an outdoor screening venue. Pier 57 hosts various events throughout the year, including exhibitions and community gatherings.
