Little Island
Description
Taking the place of the remnants of Pier 54, which was destroyed during Hurricane Sandy, Little Island is a destination for outdoor music, theater and dance performances as well as art programs. It holds 2.4 acres of green space and includes an amphitheater, aka The Amph, and a more intimate stage, The Glade, overlooking the water. The eye-catching concrete piles jut out of the Hudson River and are connected to one another by lush gardens. Savory Hospitality provides coffee, baked goods, salads, sandwiches, drinks and bites made fresh with local ingredients all day long.
