But the miracle of Hudson Yards is far more than that... The most eye-catching one should be the new landmark Vessel, known as the "Eiffel Tower of New York", with a hollow spiral staircase connecting the two, which is extremely subversive and controversial. 30 Hudson Yards also has the highest city observation deck in the Western Hemisphere, the Edge, which is higher than the Empire State Building Observation Deck at 1,050 feet and the Rockefeller Center Observation Deck at 850 feet above the ground!

The food market, known as "Little Spain", was co-founded by three Spanish chefs. Walking into it feels like a Spanish tapas street. The New York Times introduced the top 20 foods here, and Iberian ham ranked first. It uses Libyan pigs that are only three weeks old. It is worth a try. Of course, there is also the Spanish paella that you can never go wrong.
