If you build it they will come. And they, tourists and locals, have. Dynamic space has a mostly upscale mall to loose yourself in for a day, performing arts spaces(some for free) and museum exhibitions in The Shed, The Vessel helix(limited access by ticket).
A great place to spend a day or evening in all seasons.
Do NOT fall for ticket hustlers here. Access is free.
Short walk to Chelsea Piers and boat tours, High Line, Little Island and Chelsea Market for a very full day.
