At the center of the compound, is a public space where the Vessel is located and can be clearly seen in this image. Vessel is a 150-foot-tall structure of connected staircases, the height of 16 stories. It has 80 landings, 2,500 steps and 154 flights. The total length of the 'hike' up the stairs is a little more than one mile. Ramps and an elevator are available for those who cannot climb the stairs. At the top of the tallest building, the "Edge" - a open air, glass-sided platform is located on the 100th floor. At 1,100 feet it is the highest viewing platform in the Western Hemisphere. The NYC High Line Park can be accessed on the south side of Hudson Yards where one can then walk along the elevated railway line park southward through Chelsea and other west side areas. Aternately,one could walk Eastward to find the Macy's flagship 34th street store and the nearby Empire State Building.
