Hudson Square has a new connection to the Hudson River! The Hudson Square Business Improvement District has installed a colorful, imaginative path to help you find it.
Located midblock just south of the newly restored St. John’s Terminal Building at 550 Washington Street, a series of “breadcrumbs” using brightly painted artwork, signage, + landscaping will guide people to a new crossing. Until recently, people had to cross at Canal or West Houston Streets –a quarter of a mile between crossings. This art installation features 20 spheres illustrated to showcase a unique aspect, chapter, or building from the Hudson Square neighborhood. Playful depictions of fish from the Hudson River in each sphere guides pedestrians on a path along Spring + Washington Streets to the Park. No longer will Hudson Square feel so far from this iconic amenity.
Please note the exhibit is under construction and will make its debut during the Jane’s Walk weekend.
