Vessel and Hudson Yards in NYC

On my sixth day in New York City, I decided to visit Hudson Yards, where you can see the Vessel, shop in the nearby mall, and enjoy the area as a tourist attraction. I took the subway to get there, brought along an iced coffee, and luckily the weather was wonderful.

What I really enjoyed was the walk on the old elevated railroad that has been transformed into a pedestrian path. From there, you can see the Vessel from a distance while also enjoying views of the river and the edge of the city. It was a beautiful and relaxing walk.

Inside Hudson Yards mall, there are many nice stores to explore. As for the Vessel itself, you can either just admire it and take photos, or you can buy a ticket to go inside and walk up. Personally, I think it depends on your interests. If you like collecting experiences and seeing unique architecture up close, it might be worth going inside. But if you are more casual, just seeing it from the outside is enough.

The design of the Vessel is unusual and funny in shape, so I recommend stopping by at least once. Overall, I had a very nice visit here.
