This pier sticks out so far into the Hudson River that you feel like you're halfway to New Jersey. There is a fantastic view of the George Washington Bridge looking north, and the skyline of New York City looking south. This is a nice, new pier with lots of seats and indirect lighting. It is not a pier for boats; it is a pier for walking, running and gathering. There are lots of special events held here in the warmer months, and there is a very nice burger restaurant — Pier 1 Cafe —at the base of the pier.

I've visited this pier many times, whether running, on my bicycle or my favorite mode of transportation: by paddle board. It is an interesting space and one much loved, especially by locals in the hi-rises above. There is also no shortage of events held there. Just this past weekend my dog and I happened upon the MamaPaLooza concert (see photos). I highly recommend. And any new visitor should really take a look at the railroad gantry, the freight locomotive and the carved stones identifying the many rail lines that served Manhattan, coming in on the float barges that utilized the gantry.

Great view and nice breeze. Good place to enjoy warm weather during the day or night. There is a cafeteria style food place that completes the relaxing days of Spring/ Summer/ Fall. It’s right off the bike path. Bikers, dog walkers, local residents, and sometimes their guests are the usual crowd.

Delicious food, way above average. And a healthy mix, some items cooked to order. the real benefit of this place is the fact that you're sitting outside along the water. They have a well curated but limited selection of beer on top and wine by the glass.

I live on the Upper West Side and look forward to the opening of Pier I in the Spring. Great setting on the Hudson River. Food is good and there is a wide selection of meal and drink options. Great people watching and the perfect place for an evening drink while watching the sunset.

Love this place. Very chill atmosphere and beautiful views. They have event going on through the summer so look them and check it out. They’re always fun. The new food menu is very good. They have great variety of beers and wines and mixed drinks. Highly recommended if visiting the area or strolling through Riverside Park.

The pier goes well out into the water and there are many chairs near the shores part of the pier... Also there are chairs and benches all around the pier as well as all the chairs over at the Pier 1 Cafe. People meet on the pier while I was there there was a group of urban Skechers and some dancers who were doing some practicing. A bottle of water was $2 at the Pier 1 Cafe - - pretty reasonable for New York City! There are also some decaying remains of the old industrial activity near the pier that are pretty interesting for photography.

This place is perfect for everybody. This place have a caffe and a rest room and they have a film showing every wednesday. Kuddos to the people who is organizing everything. 🫡🫡🫡☝🏽🫶🏼👸🤴🏻

This is one of my most very favorite spots in the whole of NYC. I've visited Pier I in every season, including the dead of winter (just bundle up; it's worth it). There's even bathrooms just east of the pier (be careful w the times, but it's nice to know they're there). Try to catch a sunset from Pier I; they're jaw dropping. During the summer you can get food and drinks at Pier I, but it's still well worth it to walk down to the end of the pier during any season to take in the beautiful views in all directions.

Worse Chicago. I am right btw.

A very beautiful and refreshing place. At sunset, the skyscrapers appear all dressed up. Don't miss the ”Summer on the Hudson" (May-September) event, which is free to attend. The "Body Roll" and "Moving For Life" fitness classes were very good. It's a great experience to relax my body while watching a beautiful sunset.

Great experience. During the peak summer months, you can enjoy excellent food at Pier I Cafe. Drinks are great also. Sit relax and enjoy the view. Pets are welcomed.

Very beautiful wide resting srea with seats and great view of NJ. There's people walking their dogs, with family, or on a date. Lots of people getting their workout in as well.

Beautiful sights. And they also have lovely music and dancing in the summer months. Clean restrooms, a cafe, and much more.

It was ok. Went there for free astronomy produced by Summer on the Hudson and the Amateur Astronomer's Association. Was curious how it would be. Lots of people (more than I expected) queued up to look at the moon through a non-tracking telescope on a tripod. One look was enough. Had a nice chat with some people preparing to do some hiking.

Wonderful views, great walk. 05/2023

Wonderful to have an outdoor restaurant that straddles the Hudson River, provides easy access to Hudson River Park, and is a convenient landing place for anyone riding north or south on the Hudson River bicycle trail.
