The Vessel

By | Arts and Culture, New York | No Comments

The most photographed in NYC now – the Vessel @thevesselnyc in @hudsonyards The extraordinary centerpiece of Hudson Yards is its spiral staircase, a soaring new landmark meant to be climbed. This interactive artwork was imagined by Thomas Heatherwick and Heatherwick Studio as a focal point where people can enjoy new perspectives of the city and one another from different heights, angles and vantage points.

Comprised of 154 intricately interconnecting flights of stairs — almost 2,500 individual steps and 80 landings – the vertical climb offers remarkable views of the city, the river and beyond.

 We transferred to Lilia @lilianewyork for our main course ? They could not accomodate us online and as a walk in at 6pm but they gave us a table at 830pm so we went back. I was so desperate to try it so Jerome had a good idea to go back for main course – pasta which they are known for. Lilia (8) Lilia (1)Lilia (2)Lilia (3)
 The most unique and best among the 3 pastas we had was the Mafaldini with pink peppercorns and parmigiano.  Lilia (6)We also had the Sheep’s milk cheese Agnolotti Lilia (4)and the fettucine with spicy lamb sausage. Super enjoyed the company- Lilia (7)Lilia (5)We love Jerome #jpcastiyo – I do – maybe even more than the hubby 🙂  Fun evening ?#h2hnyc#h2hpasta
