HELP, HOW DO I GET THEIR BY FOOT, BIKE, BUS, TRAIN OR CAR?
PIER i CAFÉ is located at the foot of Pier i, within Riverside Park South. Although the address is 500 W 70th Street, you enter the park at Riverside Blvd. and W. 68th Street, then follow the walking path into the park. This is your access point.

Walk to Riverside Blvd. (not Riverside Drive) and W68th Street. Find the path to the right (North) of the playground. Walk down the path, toward the water, it will bring you into Riverside Park South and to PIER i CAFÉ.

At the W68th St entrance, a ramp leads straight to the restaurant but is slightly steeper.
Gentler Ramp:
To the south of W68th St., there is a second ramp that has less of an incline.
By Bike:
Ride your bike along the bikeway that runs through Riverside Park South. This bikeway can be accessed from the Hudson River Park and Riverside Park bikeways.
