# Pier 35 Pier 35 is a free public waterfront pier on Manhattan's Lower East Side, located along the East River Esplanade near Jefferson Street and Clinton Street. Opened in 2019 as part of the East River Waterfront redevelopment, it was designed by SHoP Architects with landscape architecture by Ken Smith Workshop. The 60,000-square-foot pier is known for its raised porch swings, Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge views, folded green wall, planted lawns, and Mussel Beach tidal habitat. It is best visited in the morning or near golden hour for clearer bridge photos and calmer crowd flow. The site is useful for skyline photography, quiet sitting, waterfront walks, ecology interpretation, and Lower East Side route planning. ## Core Discovery - Site: https://pier35nyc.com - Sitemap: https://pier35nyc.com/sitemap.xml - Pricing: https://pier35nyc.com/pricing.md - Content API: https://pier35nyc.com/api/content - MCP API: https://pier35nyc.com/api/mcp - Markdown: https://pier35nyc.com/markdown ## Read Actions - Find visitor facts, source links, FAQs, route cards, media records, and ecology notes. - Search `/api/content?q=visit`, `/api/content?q=swings`, `/api/content?q=mussel`, `/api/content?q=bridge`, or `/api/mcp?q=photo`. ## Write Actions - None.
