Nothing quite beats the view of the Manhattan skyline from the Hudson River. At Pier 40, grab a couple friends & jump on a nighttime cruise for drinks & food while admiring the beautiful scene. Cruise for New Year’s Eve, or the 4th of July or any Friday night of the year! Whatever suits your fancy, the city is at your finger tips. One of the most important commercial properties in Hudson River Park, Pier 40 plays an integral role in supporting the Park, currently funding approximately 30% of its annual operating budget. It is the largest commercial pier in the Park and the source of $6 million in annual operating revenue. Designed as a passenger ship terminal, today Pier 40 is home to a commercial parking garage, beloved athletic fields, and the administrative offices of the Hudson River Park Trust. Its athletic fields are a community asset and host hundreds of thousands of individuals of all ages each year. With a footprint of 15 acres, it is the largest pier structure on the Hudson River.
