Hudson Yards in Midtown Manhattan is a relatively new development and attraction in New York City. It was suppose to be the site of the West Side Stadium when New York was vying for the 2012 Olympics. But that plan fell through, although construction didn't stop. In place of an Olympic stadium in the heart of Manhattan, we now have Hudson Yards. But what can you see and do today in Hudson Yards? Find out in today's video.

As always, high quality info on your videos dear Thea! We love how you show where things are in comparison to others, to help one get some context! Kudos!

[@UrbanCaffeine]

These videos are a lot of fun to make. Thanks for watching!

[@vincejm]

Hudson Yards looks like a nice district to explore on a visit to NYC. The maps you provide are first class as well, keep up the good work.👍

[@UrbanCaffeine]

Thank you! Maps are really a good way to tell stories.

[@richt.4900]

The amount of information crammed all your productions is extremely good Thea, this is what makes you stand out from the other channels and, is what will ultimately get you a lot of subscribers. Keep grinding girl, so looking forward to your High Line video, from this side of the the pond here in England (Brexitland 🤭🇪🇺). 🤗👍🏻😉

[@UrbanCaffeine]

Thanks. Hopefully I can get to the High Line before all the green is gone. lol

[@TheBloodCrazed]

Another great video

[@christinachristofi7313]

Once again you deliver a very informative comprehensive video thank you 😊

[@UrbanCaffeine]

So nice of you to say. Thanks!

[@albertmyers7176]

Great vid thank you

[@tombsofak]

Wow! I learned a lot with this one! Hudson Yard hasn't even been on my radar but now I'd love to come see it! Might have to save it for my eventual second trip as the first one is gonna be short and pretty busy. Maybe next year though! I've been rewatching your videos a lot especially the ones about transportation in preparation for my trip! I legitimately think yours have been the most helpful! Now I just need to not panic when I arrive and immediately forget everything 😂 but even if I can never make my way back to NYC again, I think your videos are great and I'll keep watching them! Stay safe!

[@UrbanCaffeine]

Good luck! A first trip to NY will indeed be jam-packed. I hope you enjoy it!

[@jennyhunt]

How fun! Thanks for the art mosaic info. Love that and all of your videos! :)

[@UrbanCaffeine]

Glad you like them!

[@arcticblazeify]

Thank you! We just visited Manhattan and Brooklyn last week for 5 days. Your videos were very informative and helpful! Your channel should be a part or be shown/watched by any tours or introduction to New York visitors.

[@UrbanCaffeine]

So happy that you had a great trip! Feel free to share videos to others you know are visiting. 😊

[@eresendizmx]

Thank you for providing all this material. It is very useful to plan our trip to NYC. Keep up the excellent work!

[@UrbanCaffeine]

Happy to hear that. Hope you have a great trip!

[@eresendizmx]

@@UrbanCaffeine Only a week away!

[@hubertvancalenbergh9022]

Nice. I wasn't aware of the neighborhood's existence. Congrats on an interesting series - the graphics are effective, you have a pleasant voice and you're great to look at. Bravo! 😉

[@UrbanCaffeine]

Thanks for watching!

[@lucyb6890]

I must say, you are hands down my fave NY KZbinr. Thanks so much for your detail and knowledge! I am hoping (as long as I’m still allowed in 😃) to visit in early 2022, so i reckon I’ll be a pro by the time I get there thanks to you haha. Happy New Year!

[@UrbanCaffeine]

Thanks! That means a lot. You might want to stay updated on flights though. Lots of flights are getting cancelled through mid-January. Not sure when you plan to take a trip.

[@lucyb6890]

@@UrbanCaffeine thanks 🤗 so far so good but I am keeping my eye on them! I’m going end of feb so got all my fingers crossed things have settled by then. But my flights are amendable, so I’ll be able to move my plans if I need..and I can live vicariously through KZbin til then!

[@mantis_monk]

I call the vessel "the pine cone". That's where I smoke on my breaks lol. My coworkers all know that if they need to find me in an emergency, I'm smoking and staring at the ladies next to the pine cone...

[@juanenriquetoro5941]

Hi Thea, Great job as always. I performed a wedding at the foot of the Vessel. It was awesome. I look forward to future videos. Keep up the good work.

[@UrbanCaffeine]

What a nice backdrop for a wedding! Thanks again for watching.

[@corra7]

Absolutely amazing been there! Didn’t go up

[@sarahou-young5347]

Thanks!

[@UrbanCaffeine]

Whoa! Thank you! You're so generous. 🤩

[@shygirlshar8509]

Wow, this is perfect for tourist who don't know where to start. The issue I have is deciding in which order should I visit each area bc im not sure how close or far each area is from the next. Can u do a 3-day full itinerary based on nearby location?

[@UrbanCaffeine]

Hey there! 👋 You might want to watch this video. It might be what you're looking for: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH7LgqFnpMh3sKs

[@RailfanJalen]

That was awesome, Can you do New York Penn station next?

[@UrbanCaffeine]

Thanks! I can't do Penn Station next but will add it to the list.

[@_JohnDoe]

If the rail yard is still present and operational, are those skyscrapers on stilts? I really cannot wrap my head around this.

[@chuck1728]

This past summer I visited Little Island in Chelsea. It is a dock in the Hudson River that has been made into an urban park. Very unusual. I recommend it and it was free.

[@UrbanCaffeine]

Glad you got to go! It's just opened this summer so you were one of the first visitors.

[@Ronaldofan2008]

Sorry I missed an upload again can you upload when im out of school which is 2:20 pm plus I like this video about hudson yards

[@UrbanCaffeine]

Hi there! You can always watch a new video after school. You don't need to watch as soon as it's published. Good luck in school! ✌️

[@Ronaldofan2008]

@@UrbanCaffeine thanks

[@Aidan_Au]

Speaking of new train station, I'd love to see Thea do a video about the Moynihan Train Hall. It's about to a 1-year-old

[@UrbanCaffeine]

I was there when I did the LIRR video. The place looks great! I'll have to look into the details of the whole place.

[@Shahrdad]

Great video! Of course the "safety issues" is people throwing themselves off of the Vessel and killing themselves.

[@EscapingtheEmptyNest]

I hope someday they figure out how to open the vessel again safely

[@UrbanCaffeine]

Me too. Raising the barrier seems like an easy solution but we're not the ones sitting at the table. 🙂

[@tomryan943]

Is it true that they shut down the Vessel because people were jumping off it??

[@UrbanCaffeine]

Sadly, that is indeed the case.

[@bhismilinirampersad3360]

😊👍🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@felicecinque]

We lost because who the hell wants to go to Staten Island ;)

[@Aidan_Au]

Wow Thea made a video about one of my fav area in NYC. Yay! The Vessel was closed indefinitely because of the 4th suicide. Thea, what do you think that has to happen before the Vessel can reopen? 🤔

[@UrbanCaffeine]

Thanks! I feel all they have to do is raise the barrier. But who knows how complicated that discussion is among the parties involved.
