The Shed

"Beautiful exhibits. They change their exhibits fairly frequently. The pictures are from the Tomas Saraceno: Particular Matters exhibit this past March/April 2022. I booked my tickets in advance and I had a minimum of wait. Depending on the exhibition its also suited for kids. I can highly recommend this place."

"I actually really enjoy coming here to work from home at the cafe. This is a review specific to the cafe. Its a very relaxing area with so many options for sitting and working. This would be a great place to read a book or just grab a quick drink bite or coffee. Its actually a hidden gem if youre not looking for ‘think coffee’s long lines, tourists. When shows start theres people waiting and chatting hut not loud enough to bother, maybe sometimes kids but you can always move to the other areas. Quiet enough to take a call. The wifi although it says full bars is not great but I use my hotspot for the day when I come by with 0 issues. They also have a small happy hour for like half off bites and drinks…. Im telling you gem. 1. I’d love to see it open earlier I think it could be a staple in the area but makes sense that it doesn’t 2. The free wifi is not great"

"The Shed is a fantastic addition to the idea of community, by Hudson Yards and off The Highline in a bubbly looking plastic wrap of a building. Inside, it's highlighting community through art, and platforming artists who might not have the same opportunity elsewhere in New York. We went for the Sonic Sphere, which was a leap backwards into future technology, a throwback to 1970s experimentation, on par with San Francisco's world famous "Audium", or the Exploratorium's Tactile Dome, and other explorations of sensory and stimulus from a bygone era. This isn't a modern freak out of technology, vs the novel use of it from an era of Pink Floyd laser light shows at planetariums. I think the most interesting aspect of it is the stillness, and the silence... the ability to sit reclined, just staring at something other than our phones for about 45 minutes. It felt less of a technological marvel than it did a personal meditation with calming visuals. It was a perfect addition to our busy trip, and a welcome and wonderful respite from the heat, the crowds, and the constant, unyielding movement through the highline and city. Some people are not impressed with the experience or the technology, but I am sure they are thinking 2023, not 1973. Go with a sense of wonder, awe, calm, and simple auditory and visual tech. With that attitude, it will be a winner."

"Great experience at the shed. Saw the best of the sphere. Was pretty cool. Free coat/bag check was awesome. Would like to check out a show that's more one vibe like Carl Craig. But the only thing is you just kinda lie there . The seating is like hammock netting and comfy,but it would be cool if this was more of a dancefloor experience . Like I would go out to hear some house music and dance with all this going on above me. Artists hint hint I was able to get a free promo ticket code. Otherwise it's kinda expensive. Make sure you go for free or for an artist you really enjoy hearing."
