One thing’s for sure: While you’re there, you won’t run out of stuff to eat. It’s also where you’ll find more experiential offerings from retailers, like a concept store from L’Oréal, and a Muji with a custom embroidery station and coffee shop. The space is dedicated to some of the first physical New York City locations-and the first brick-and-mortar locations, period-of a number of digitally native brands, like Italian leather shoe brand M.Gemi’s first permanent store in New York City, or women’s brand Heidi Klein’s first U.S. (Cartier, for example, is launching “Les Galaxies de Cartier,” a jewelry collection exclusive to the space.) Level Two, which the developers have dubbed the “Floor of Discovery,” might be the most exciting bit. Wedged between 10 and 30 Hudson Yards is where you’ll find The Shops & Restaurants with more than 100 stores, including outposts of Coach, Van Cleef & Arpels, Uniqlo, Zara, H&M, Lululemon, and Sephora, some of which are even planning “special activations” for their new residencies at Hudson Yards.

Vessel, as it's temporarily known, is made of 154 interconnecting flights of stairs, with nearly 2,500 individual steps and 80 different landings. The Public Square and Gardens, for instance, designed by Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects with Heatherwick Studio, will be filled with more than 28,000 plants, over 200 mature trees, perennial gardens, and maybe best of all, pedestrian paths lined with almost a mile of walls where you can sit and take it all in. At more than 11.9 million square feet, the Eastern Yards are made up of seemingly endless commercial and residential space, as well as ample outdoor space. Hudson Yards is an exercise in community building, a chance for people to come together over food, fashion, and art-with plenty of breathing room-in a city that often feels as squeezed and claustrophobic as it does huge and unconquerable.
You can walk up at Gansevoort and Washington Streets, right by the Whitney Museum of American Art in the Meatpacking District, and the path will deposit you just between The Shed and 10 Hudson Yards, where you can then while away some time in the Public Square and Gardens before stuffing your face with paella.

Once completed, Hudson Yards will be the largest private real estate development in U.S. Bounded by 10th and 12th Avenues and 30th and 34th Streets on Manhattan’s Far West Side, the development began as a neglected (albeit active) rail yard for LIRR, Amtrak, and NJ transit trains with the muscle of Related Companies and Oxford Properties Group, it has evolved into a destination. You could mark time with the rise of this mammoth project, which, since its official groundbreaking in December 2012, has slowly come to punctuate the New York City skyline like an unblemished Gotham in miniature, a set of gleaming skyscrapers. Hudson Yards really is a West Side Story-for a new millennium, that is.
