    Why This Place?

    Perched on the East River with sweeping views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges, Pier 35 is both playful and peaceful. The pier is lined with giant swings where you can rock gently while watching the water, making it one of the most unique spots in the city to clear your head. Whether you're stretching out on the loungers, trying out the outdoor fitness equipment, or just sitting with friends as the sun sets, Pier 35 has a way of making time slow down. Bring a coffee or takeout from the nearby Lower East Side and let the skyline do the rest.

    Local Tip: Try out the giant swings for a unique experience. Bring takeout from nearby Lower East Side eateries and enjoy the sunset views of the bridges.
