“My first dinner was so successful because I met some incredible people,” One Timeleft user said. “We did nothing but share good stories and laugh. The promise to replicate that first experience enticed me to attend the second dinner, then the third, and so on.”

An image on the left reflects a rendering for Pier 58's design. An image on the left is an aerial photo of Pier 58 as it exists now mid-construction. Main similarities include the shape of the pier, the jellyfish playground structure, a main plaza area in the center, and section off space on the right for the elevated lawn. The current photo does not yet show a planned tree grove and planted grass for the lawn, as depicted in the rendering.
