As the weather warms up in NYC, New Yorkers want to get outside and seize the summer days with gusto. After a year of being indoors, this summer is set to be one when everyone appreciates the fresh air more than ever. Think: outdoor dining at fabulous restaurants, meeting up with friends at a park, and long walks through the city. Residents of 555TEN luxury rentals have easy access to almost every al fresco activity Manhattan affords. These no-fee NYC rentals are just a five-minute stroll from the High Line, an even quicker walk to Hudson Yards, and two blocks away from the Hudson River. But you don’t need to look any further than home to get a healthy dose of outdoor fun — 555TEN has plenty of that for you.

Get the sunscreen ready!

The outdoor amenities at 555TEN are as exquisite as each of the homes inside. You could pass a sizzling summer day in the temperature-controlled splendor of your home, enjoying the striking views and taking advantage of every modern convenience one could ever ask for. Then again, you could also throw on your bathing suit, grab a towel, and take the elevator up to the rooftop pool. While rooftops abound in this vertical city, none are as sleek and stylish as this one 56 stories above Midtown West.

Imagine spending a day with family and friends luxuriating in a cabana or reclining on a chaise lounge in between soothing soaks in the pool. Float all of your cares away 650 feet in the air. As the sun begins to set, take in jaw-dropping vistas as you gaze toward the south and the Hudson River. Who needs to get tickets to the nearby Edge observation deck when this rooftop gives you views that are just as stunning? Watching the sunset from this unobstructed vantage point is nothing short of breathtaking — and it’s something you can see on any day. When night falls, head to the rooftop club for a drink at the bar, and gather around the indoor/outdoor fireplace.

At 555TEN, it’s not just people who get to enjoy world-class outdoor amenities: Dogs have their own outdoor area to play and get some exercise. No more dragging your pup to the dog park blocks away in inclement weather. Thanks to 555TEN’s covered outdoor dog park, both you and your furry best friend can get in some playtime whenever the mood strikes.

Enjoy all that New York City has to offer — both indoors and out — from these well-appointed, customizable, and amenity-filled homes. Want to see more of what 555TEN has to offer? Contact us today and make an appointment for viewing.

Hudson River Park runs an impressive four miles along the western shoreline of Manhattan — and right past the luxury rentals at 555TEN. As NYC reopens for summer, make the most of this uniquely repurposed industrial waterfront, with its charming lawns, restaurants, and community activities, that sits on the doorstep of 555TEN’s Midtown West apartments.

Lazing on Lawns

Sometimes all a sunny afternoon calls for is a patch of lush, green grass for relaxing. Hudson River Park has plenty. Recline with a good novel at Linda’s Lawn, or top up your tan on nearby Locomotive Lawn. Pier 96 is home to Clinton Cove — walkable from 555TEN’s no-fee rentals, and it’s the perfect spot for picnicking. Walk around a bit and you’ll discover some of the park’s many public artworks. Particularly worth seeking out is Malcolm Cochran’s “Private Passage.” It’s a sculpture of an oversized wine bottle with an interior that mirrors a stateroom from the Queen Mary ocean liner.

Take to the Water (Or Stay on Dry Land)

You needn’t be a seasoned sailor to take to the Hudson River. Wander down to the waterfront from 555TEN to find Manhattan Kayak, offering kayak and paddleboard lessons and experiences — there’s even an after-dark excursion. Next door, on Pier 83, is Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises. Be a tourist for a change, and drink in Manhattan skyline views by day, or watch the city twinkle after dark on the Harbor Lights Cruise. Prefer to remain on dry land? Join the scores of joggers who use the park’s pathways for their daily routine, or hire a bike from Pier 84, and take off along the Hudson River Greenway.

Waterfront Drinking and Dining

On balmy evenings, nothing rivals refined cocktails followed by a meal under the stars. Try The Press Lounge for stunning views over the Hudson River, paired with summery sips, including pink negronis and spiked lemonades. Or, gorge on freshly caught seafood and prosecco aboard the North River Lobster Company‘s floating restaurant. Both are within comfortable walking distance of the luxury rentals at 555TEN.

Be a Volunteer

Want to give something back to this incredible park? Sign up to be a member of the HRPK Green Team. Twice-monthly sessions take place throughout the summer, inviting you to slip on your gardening gloves, and dig into planting, weeding, pruning, mulching, and various other horticultural activities. Not only is it a great way to keep the park looking fine and dandy, it’s another wonderful way to bask in the beauty of the waterfront — not to mention meet fellow New Yorkers.
