This is the view of downtown New York from the Morris Canal Park in Jersey City, NJ. The park itself is right in the heart of Jersey City about a half mile from the Path Train Station and the NYC Taxi Waterway. It’s a small patch of land in the midst of high rise apartments. While I was there, I could see it’s a popular spot among nearby residents who make it a habit to end their hectic day with their children and pets while taking in the view of the financial district as well as the Colgate clock in the foreground. It’s a peaceful and friendly neighborhood as well as I had the opportunity to strike up conversations with several locals. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/7977/a8ec05e0-b396-40d5-8587-7f33f02036fd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![New York City skyline at dusk from Jersey side. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/7977/90446652-f9e8-4f01-9df7-5370ecd61a0b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![The Waterfront](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/2621/413b85db-3231-485f-8e6e-23870d3ff962.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit The Waterfront Things to do Hotels Where to stay [Jersey City travel guide](https://expedia.co.uk/Jersey-City.dx6023404) --- ### Popular places to visit ![Goldman Sachs Tower which includes a bay or harbour, a city and a skyscraper](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6079867/7053f854-8611-4304-bd31-8203d7791d66.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Goldman Sachs Tower One of the tallest skyscrapers not just in Jersey City, but in the entire Garden State, this towering steel construction looms over the waterfront.
