At the crossroads of Manhattan’s dynamic West Side lies Hudson Yards, an urban escape, offering culinary delights, cultural happenings and stylish retail. Crowning the Public Square’s lush gardens sits the lively Backyard at Hudson Yards, home to an iconic open-air 30-foot 4K LED screen.

For nearby denizens at 555TEN seeking a grand-scale game day experience, the Big Screen grants front row seats to the action: international tennis opens, pro golf tournaments, global soccer matches, plus NFL and MLB matchups.

Situated against the backdrop of Thomas Heatherwick’s famed ‘Vessel’, the Big Screen is quite a sight at the foot of the glossy, latticework mega-sculpture, capturing the kinetic spirit of the neighborhood.

Far beyond the average sports bar, Backyard’s sprawling outdoor setup fosters festive camaraderie. Fans lounge in seating pods or relax in cabana-style furniture mere feet from the cinema-sized screen. Surrounded by friends, sipping craft brews and nibbling on first-class street food, the communal atmosphere amplifies the spectating experience.

From the U.S. Open serves to the PGA Championship’s putts, the Big Screen presents sports in magnified detail. Autumn weekends feature college football rivalries and hard-hitting NFL clashes best viewed under the stars. The lively atmosphere rivals that of the stadiums themselves.

For 555TEN residents, catching a primetime matchup on the Big Screen is but a quick jaunt. Upon arrival, you can score a courtside lounger with a direct sightline. No need to compete with the crowds or risk spilling your tasty microbrew when cheering along.

From outdoor concerts at Backyard to screenings of nostalgic and seasonal films on the great lawn, the venue satisfies entertainment cravings in grand fashion. 555TEN offers luxury living with Backyard’s big screen located just down the street.

Rediscovering New York: An Autumn Stroll on the High Line

As we welcome fall, the High Line is where you’ll want to be. Perched on an old rail structure spanning nearly 1.5 miles, the park is a blend of urban chic and nature’s charm. It’s a fresh, elevated way to see the city. And in autumn, it’s pure magic, the perfect place to witness dusk as the lights of the city blend with the brilliant colors of the season.

Best of all, if you’re living in one of the Midtown West apartment rentals at 555TEN, all you have to do is take a leisurely walk down Tenth Avenue to get to the High Line; it’s less than 15 minutes away.

Residents of the Midtown rentals at 555TEN are in a prime spot to lap up the culture at this celebrated event.

A little background on The New Yorker

The quintessential companion for chic residents of this city and the world, The New Yorker started life in 1925 as a sophisticated humor magazine and has gone on to become the byword for urban culture, publishing everything from the wry cartoons of James Thurber to Annie Proulx’s 1997 short story “Brokeback Mountain.”

Where and when is this year’s New Yorker Festival?

The event is spread over a long weekend—Friday, October 6 through Sunday, October 8. Friday’s lineup kicks off in the evening, while Saturday and Sunday are packed with events from morning through night. Two venues serve as hosts: the East Village’s Webster Hall, with its jaw-droppingly beautiful Grand Ballroom, and the SVA Theatre in the heart of Chelsea.

Who’s on the lineup?

As ever, there is a dizzying array of guests, although some talks are now sold out. Here are our picks from what’s still available:

How to Be Funny, with Samantha Irby, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz: the comedy writer Samantha Irby speaks with New Yorker staff writers to discover what it takes to raise a laugh from a complete stranger (October 6).

John Turturro talks with Tyler Foggatt: the star of diverse movies, including The Big Lebowski and The Batman, chats about his life and career (October 7).

Rachel Bloom talks with Rachel Syme: the cocreator and star of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, discusses her hit “musical dramedy” and other shows she’s been a part of (October 8).

Is anything else happening?

Absolutely! Check out the full program.There are advanced screenings of JFK: One Day in America and The Holdovers, both of which feature post-screening conversations with the filmmakers (October 8). There’s also an interactive evening of competitive cartooning with New Yorker regulars Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell, Drew Dernavich, Sarah Kempa, and Jeremy Nguyen (October 8). And if you’re looking to keep the party going on Saturday, there’s late-night DJing from drag queen and club legend Kevin Aviance.

Reside within a stone’s throw of New York’s most vibrant cultural happenings: discover your dream Midtown Manhattan apartments at 555TEN today.

The Midtown rentals at 555TEN have a number of outdoor oases on the doorstep: the sprawling banks of Hudson River Park, verdant rooftop bars like Vue180 and Gallow Green— plus, of course, the Hamptons are just a couple of hours’ drive away. But for those lazy summer days when you don’t want to venture far at all, 555TEN’s on-site amenities have you covered.

Taking a Dip

The jewel in the crown of these luxury Midtown rentals has to be its rooftop pool. Here, 56 stories up, you can begin your morning, wind down your evening—or while away an entire Sunday afternoon—in the cooling alfresco waters. South-west facing, the pool gets glorious sunshine for the best part of the day, and its unobstructed views provide unrivaled glimpses of the Hudson—its piers and parks—and the New Jersey skyline beyond. There’s ample room to swim proper lengths, and the kink at one end of the pool provides somewhere to sit back, relax, and soak up the views.

Sunning Yourself

Chaise lounges are liberally scattered poolside—an ideal spot to sip an iced coffee and devour a few chapters of a summer blockbuster. There are stylishly appointed private cabanas too—so when it’s time to seek shade, it’s ready and waiting. Our top tip: come up here for a sunset nightcap and see Manhattan glow in remarkable pinks, purples, and ambers.

Working Alfresco

However balmy the weather might be, sometimes we’ve still got to work. At these Midtown NYC apartments, you can still bask in the summer rays while hosting video calls with clients, catching up on emails, or poring over contracts. While 555TEN’s residents’ lounge provides an elegant midcentury-inspired space to work year-round, its greenery-ensconced terrace is a shoo-in for the summer season. Tables, chairs, and lounge seating invite you to get comfortable with your laptop—and every time you glance up from your screen, you’re greeted with cinematic views from 56 floors up. Now that’s what we call working from home.

Going for Walkies

When temperatures soar, and even a stroll in the park feels a bit of a stretch, simply take your four-legged friend to one of 555TEN’s two dedicated dog runs. Here, your beloved pooch can let off steam in a safe (and cool) environment; though fully covered and enclosed, the dog runs are also open to the elements, meaning you and your furry pal get your fix of fresh air. It’s also a great spot to meet new dog/human friends!

555TEN is equipped with everything you need for the perfect summer. Inquire today about our Midtown Manhattan apartments for rent.

Access to the community garden’s flora is exclusively for its official volunteers, yet everyone is invited to meander around its perimeters and soak in the lively pier atmosphere. 555TEN residents who are keen on lending a hand should review the Pier 84 page on the Hudson River Park website to learn more about volunteering opportunities.

History at the Harbor

Just a hop away is the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. Dive into history aboard the USS Intrepid. This isn’t just about military might; it’s a journey into our space age and beyond. Current exhibits include “On the Mend: Restoring Intrepid’s Sick Bay,” “On the Line: Intrepid and the Vietnam War,” and “A View from the Deep: The Submarine Growler and the Cold War.” 

Pier 84 in Hudson River Park is more than just a hangout—it’s a Manhattan experience. From lazing on the lawn to embracing the Hudson on a kayak or stepping back in time at the Intrepid, it’s a mix of laid-back vibes and intriguing adventures.
