island which just opened today today yeah oh wow and we got tickets it wasn't that hard again
we'll take a quick walk around the area and then we'll show you the inside
how excited are you i'm super excited i think it's gonna be a lot of people there um coming out
having a good time it so weirded out by not having to wear a mask
should i keep it on should i take it off just take it off
we made it we're through yes we are like i'm in a sixth flag or disney world theme park

looks i think cause there's so many people that actually looks really happy so this is a food area
yes should we get an iced tea if he likes it sure okay all right we're going to wait on the short
line yeah because they sell icing here too yes so those are that's the alcoholic drink of life
we don't want that stuff no we want some iced tea yeah the lime was just also we left we're gonna
explore first yeah it's time to explore look at all these people on the line it legit feels like
a theme park i can't say enough yeah i agree what is that maybe that's like one of the showrooms oh
there it is
it also does have that vessel vibe the what vibe the vessel it's like you're walking up the vessel
that's true the vessel and the little island are designed by the same person oh no way yep i knew
that designed by thomas heatherwick of heatherwick studio who also designed the hudson yards
vessel and these two actually quite close to each other they're walking distance
so he said the shape of the island is inspired by a leaf floating on the water so if you look
up if i have a drone then you'll see a shape of a leaf yes unfortunately it says no drones
on the website of course we are pretty chaotic yeah but we would love to fly our drone here
wow
oh that's trippy
yeah but i didn't have one here that's true i mean that logic is true
they have one here thing now if they're my friends i'll take a picture for them right here
yes or you can take pictures of strangers yeah they give it to them oh my god this spot
see is is how they got up here
but it's a picnic with a view that's true that's true
yeah the vessel is more photogenic you know uh performance space
all right do something for us man no i'm not on stage they should perform who's they right there
fdny fdny fire department this is a restroom did you just use it
no i'm good for now yeah i'm good too
i'll just not use it
this is what the inside of these structures look like oh this is where we came in yeah
and we just walked on top of that this will go in the path now
so getting here there's actually a lot of ways to get here you can take the subway you can take like
10 different trains here i think the subway is the ac yep ace the l one two three to 14th street
yeah it'll be a bit of a walk though just to warn you that's so interesting
i think this is a colosseum looking here
and you just sit there and watch the show wow there's a sea world
like
well this is nyc's first floating park and it was a 260 million gift 260 billion
260 million dollars gift to the city from billionaire barry diller
you know what we haven't done we haven't touched the grass yet feels real feels real yeah

like imagine no bikes no scooters no skateboards yeah exactly that they want to keep little island
the space accessible to all visitors but we're here yes we're here
thank you
oh touristy place yeah i mean it is going to be very touristy
like the vessel yeah everyone's just finding their spot taking pictures
like the slow way or the fast way i think the best way this time yeah a different a different
yeah it fits in with the neighborhood very well oh yes it does
do you want to sit down somewhere oh sure wherever how about this corner
so ming was saying those food vendors what they're all locally sourced they're homegrown
apparently from their apartments well i don't know about the apartments actually
but they're homegrown they're locally sourced so beautiful it's quite enjoyable huh quite enjoyable
