Pier 45

This is a great park with views across the Hudson. Part of a popular running route, and good way to get downtown.

I wish I checked the reviews before I purchased any food. Like stated previously in other reviews, the staff was great but food was terrible!

So the pier itself is lovely.... But the cafe has a lot of work to do. The drink is fine and reasonably well priced, $3 for a coke, but dont eat here. $13 for a pretty terrible burger - frozen patty, dry buns, huge slice of tomato etc.

Pier 45, also called the Christopher Street Pier, is a great place to enjoy the sun on a hot day, complete with showers/sprinklers to cool off while laying out. The pier is a hotspot for those in the West Village/Chelsea so expect a pretty large crowd on a sunny day.

Great place to relax on a weekend afternoon or watch the sky as the sun goes down.

Has a great view of the river and New Jersey shore and skyline that looks really special in the evening. It's also close to a number of great restaurants in the West Village making it a perfect spot for after or pre-dinner relaxation.
