As the curator of East River Pier 35, I am thrilled to share with you the story of how we have incorporated sustainable materials into the design of our space. From the reclaimed wood used in our benches to the recycled steel that makes up our railings, every surface has been carefully considered to minimize our environmental footprint. One of the most unique features of our space is the use of river stone, which has been sourced from the East River itself. This not only reduces the need for transportation and packaging but also serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of the river. As we continue to evolve and grow, we remain committed to our mission of promoting sustainability and reducing waste. Whether you are a longtime resident of New York City or just visiting, we invite you to come and experience the beauty of East River Pier 35 for yourself.
