New York City needs new green space now more than ever. In a few months, we're getting some. Little Island at Pier 55 is a two-acre park that hovers above the Hudson River. When it opens in 2021, it'll welcome New Yorkers and visitors alike to explore its slopes, trees, shrubs and flowers—it'll be like visiting a botanical garden in the middle of Manhattan. Walking through its vaulted opening, you're afforded not only views of its open lawns and plantings, but incredible views of Manhattan and the river. That stunning vista will also act as a backdrop to live theater that will take place at two amphitheaters within the park.
