This long, open pier is a refreshing blank slate for runners, walkers and event planners. It has accommodated a huge variety of special guest events, such as the celebrated Ashes and Snow art installation, MTV concerts and the annual Heritage of Pride Dance Party.

History

Look closely at the entrance arch at Pier 54 and you'll see that it was once a Cunard-White Star pier. Pier 54 was the departure point for the Lusitania's first voyage, and is where the survivors from the Titanic disembarked from the Carpathia.
