The Arts at Hudson Yards:

The Shed features shows and performances from New York City’s own Artists.  The Shed is a beautiful new structure located right where the High Line meets Hudson yards.  This is a platform for local talent as well as a showcase for original artwork.  It falls right in line with the art work presented by it’s neighbor, the High Line Park as a result art enthusiasts will find this especially entrancing.

The best way to get there is the 7 train to 34th Street Hudson Yards Station.  This is the last stop on the “7” line.  In other words, take the subway to the end and don’t miss this must see destination.  Above all, the views alone are worth the trip downtown with many areas still being developed.
