For travelers arriving in New York City, the Hudson Yards stop delivers seamless access to major West Side destinations, including the revitalized Hudson River Park, The High Line, Vessel, Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, Madison Square Garden, and Chelsea. For New Yorkers heading out of the city, the new stop provides easy weekend departures to Hudson Valley destinations such as New Paltz, Rosendale, Kingston, Woodstock, and Phoenicia - without traveling through the Port Authority.
