Pet-Friendly

The Shops at Hudson Yards are extremely pet-friendly. Leashed dogs are welcome in all common areas and inside many (but not all) of the retail stores. Look for a “dog-friendly” sticker in the store’s window. It is one of the most accommodating indoor shopping centers for pets in NYC.

Sustainability and Environmental Policy

The entire Hudson Yards neighborhood was built with advanced sustainability:

• • LEED Gold Certified: The shopping center is certified LEED Gold.
  • Co-generation Plant: The neighborhood has its own microgrid and co-generation power plant, which is highly efficient and reduces carbon emissions.

* Stormwater Collection: Over 10 million gallons of stormwater are collected from the roofs and plazas annually, then filtered and reused in the building systems and to water the plaza trees.

Useful Tips for Visitors

• • Book Attractions First: Tickets for The Edge (the outdoor sky deck) and entry passes for The Vessel (the climbable structure) should be booked *weeks* or even *months* in advance.
  • Best Access: The 7 Train is the easiest way to get there. The station (34th St-Hudson Yards) exits directly in front of the mall.
  • Connect to the High Line: The mall is directly connected to the northern end of the High Line. It’s perfect to combine a shopping trip with a walk.

* Pet-Friendly: Feel free to bring your leashed dog; it’s one of the few indoor malls in NYC that welcomes them.

• Good for Rain/Snow Days: As a fully indoor experience, it’s an excellent choice for days with bad weather.
