The beauty of the light on the water, with a full view of the changing skyline, always awe inspiring.

My second-favorite outdoor-place in Manhattan. The abandoned 1.6 km rail tracks running above Chelsea down to the Meatpacking district were turned into an above-ground park. Perfectly nice place for sitting in the sun, reading, relaxing, having lunch in some green spot in the city. Nice views at the Hudson River, New Jersey, the Statue of Liberty (little small from there but still visible) and the architecture around Chelsea.

I've been coming to Blue Ribbon for many years, primarily for lunch, go simple with the house salad or all in with the Omakase

Secondhand works of fiction, film & philosophy sold in a shop with gatherings & special events.

Serves as a special outdoor photoshoot-location! Great "natural" backdrop and good to have a walk around in the area as well!
