@mytrippl: 📍 Little Island, New York City 🇺🇸 Apparently even the Hudson River wasn't safe from New York real estate… 😂 Just off Manhattan's west side, Little Island is a public park built above the Hudson River on the site of the former Pier 54. The location has a much deeper history too. In 1912, Pier 54 was where RMS Carpathia arrived in New York carrying survivors rescued from the Titanic. Instead of creating another conventional rectangular pier, the park sits on 132 concrete structures known as “tulip pots.” Each rises to a different height, creating the hills, viewpoints and pathways you see across the island. The result is around 2.4 acres of gardens, lawns, walking paths and performance spaces sitting directly above the water, connected to Manhattan by two pedestrian bridges. Little Island opened in 2021, with its landscape designed to feel much less like a Manhattan pier and much more like a small piece of rolling terrain. So yes, New York technically found a little more room to build. It just had to move into the Hudson to do it. 👀 Share this with someone you'd visit New York with. 🗽 #LittleIsland #NewYork #NYC #Manhattan #Travel
