Movies and Music on the Hudson

For some guests, coming to the West Side on Manhattan is a near burden. Chelsea Piers is a 4 avenue walk from the nearest Subway (the A/C/E along 8th avenue). So, if the best sailing in New York isn't enough of a draw for you, there are a number of other activities to make your "journey" worthwhile.

Many thanks to the Hudson River Park, a wide variety of summer programming has been prepared for the 2009 season. It varies from music concerts and movie showings, to dances and free yoga classes.




If you're joining us for the 6-8 sunset sail August 19th, just afterward you can take advantage of the film "Pineapple Express" being shown on Pier 54 starting at 8:30. The films are free and so is the popcorn!

On Sunday August 23rd, Pier 54 hosts their 10th annual "Blues BBQ Festival" from 2pm to 9pm. Blues bands from across the country perform alongside 4 of the 10 Best New York City BBQ restaurants for a fantastic summer day on the river. Take a break from the feast that day with a New York Harbor schooner day sail offered a 1,2,3:30, or 4:30.
