Located in the heart of Hudson Yards, The Shed is New York City’s newest and most versatile cultural center. This architectural marvel is designed to commission, produce, and present a vast range of activities across all art forms, from pop music and classical concerts to digital media, contemporary dance, and immersive theater. With its iconic retractable outer shell, The Shed literally transforms to accommodate the most ambitious creative projects in the world.

Because The Shed’s schedule is packed with high-energy events and thought-provoking performances, planning your visit is essential. Whether you are catching a groundbreaking new play, an avant-garde art installation, or a live concert, you’ll want to arrive with plenty of energy. That is where we come in. Located just a short walk away at 313 10th Avenue, Taqueria on Tenth is the perfect pre-show or post-show destination to complete your cultural outing.
