Season: Any
Named for it’s location on the Hudson River, the Vessel is definitely something to see once in your life. Both day or evening hours are remarkable. Make sure you are dressed nicely for the obligatory photo shoot! But don’t bank on doing anything other than this. You can go shopping here as well (check here for the directory of stores and restaurants). But a better idea if you want to plan a longer day is to walk the adjacent High Line. However, the underdeveloped area around the Yards will continue to grow and I’m sure in years to come there will be many more dining options and entertainment for children.
