After enjoying a lovely breakfast it was just a short walk to The Vessel...the extraordinary new centrepiece of Hudson Yards. We had pre-booked tickets for an 11 o’clock visit and as we climbed the intricately interconnecting staircases of this unique landmark, we enjoyed new perspectives of the city from the different heights, angles and vantage points offered by the 80 landings.

Designed by the British designer Thomas Heatherwick, Vessel rises 16 stories and consists of 154 flights of stairs, 2,500 steps, and 80 landings for visitors to climb. Vessel has become an instant hit among visitors and Instagrammers since its opening in 2019.
