"The Vessel" - Hudson Yards, NYC Photos

[RSO 34]

I had tickets for the Grand Opening of the newest attraction in NYC which is the centerpiece of the last available land for development in Manhattan. It is a climbable sculpture that cost $200 million to create. Here are some pics:

Outstanding.

Always like to see the pictures you take.

Saw a story about this on CBS Sunday Morning. I now I get to see your pictures immediately after.
Thanks!

Great pics.

That's a lot of coin for some steps.

Yup. That’s what I said....

So what’s the purpose of this thing?

I was thinking the same. Is there a fee to climb it?

I hope they have O2 and defibrillator stations...

It’s a climbable sculpture and there is no fee but if you don’t reserve a timed spot two weeks in advance it’s difficult to get tickets the day of since it’s limited to 700 people per hour.
