The burgeoning tech hub with a colorful past and scenic river views.
Towards the southern tip of Manhattan and resting along the waters of the Hudson River, the hip and upcoming neighborhood of Hudson Square has a palpable energy that’s as enthusiastic as it is artsy. Soon to be the home to the Google expanded campus, Hudson Square has developed a reputation as a tech hub within the city — and is even set to house a campus for Disney.
Though Hudson Square was once best-known through its proximity to other favored neighborhoods such as SoHo, West Village, and TriBeCa, it's recently blossomed into an enviable neighborhood in its own right. Among landmarked historic districts overflowing with colonial homes and row homes is a rich and vibrant history, which includes being noted by George Washington.
Living in Hudson Square can be pricey, and spacious lofts, luxury apartments, and Greek Revival townhomes are often well over a million dollars. But what some residences might lack in space, they more than make up for in luxe finishes and state-of-the-art design. And, of course, all of the real estate in Hudson Square comes with the perks of being a stone’s throw away from some of NYC’s most engaging activities.

Almost everything you could need is within walking distance, and the streets are often bustling with professionals strolling to and from their work. As the neighborhood is reinvigorated with new developments, more and more white-collar workers flood the area.
Hudson Square is a wonderful neighborhood for hitting up local shops, browsing unique finds, and exploring dynamic local boutiques. Fashionistas will want to check out independently-owned apparel stores such as OSOBA Clothing Line, which sells bespoke clothing along with a curated selection of high-end designers. For menswear, Woodies is right around the corner and has some of the finest clothing for men in the area.
Dining gets a global twist in Hudson Square, where the fare can be everything from upscale Japanese to savory Latin American, all the way to casual pub cuisine and laid-back bars.

The restaurant showcases the best of Latin American flavors and cooking techniques, paired with a trendy ambiance.

The hotel also has a rooftop bar, which gives visitors expansive views of the city while they sip on heavenly cocktails.
