The third floor, which offers unparalleled views of the Lower Manhattan waterfront and Financial District skyline, is exclusively dedicated to special events, and is perfect for weddings, corporate dinners and presentations.

Pier A is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a designated New York City landmark.
