New York\u2019s Hudson Yards<\/a> has quickly become one of the top tourist destinations in the city. Its rapid rise in popularity is due in part to Edge — a sky deck near the top of the highest building in the complex. Edge opened in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located on the 100th level of the building, Edge (often called, \u201cthe Edge\u201d) is suspended in mid-air, giving you the unique feeling of floating in the sky. And as the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere, you\u2019ll get some amazing views of NYC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, I\u2019ll tell you everything there is to know about visiting Edge, New York\u2019s newest observation deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What it\u2019s like to visit Edge NYC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The design of Edge is one-of-a-kind, with multiple exciting features (besides the beautiful view). Here\u2019s what it\u2019s like exploring Edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your visit starts at ground level, where the high-speed elevator will take you up to the top in just 52 seconds. Once you reach the top, head outside to the outdoor skydeck. Suspended more than 1,100 feet in the air, the ledge juts out 80 feet from the side of the building. It\u2019s plenty spacious too, boasting 7,500 square feet of space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the Empire State Building still taller?<\/a><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the center of the sky deck is a glass floor, a completely see-through triangle floating 100 stories above the ground. You can look straight down to the city streets below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk all the way to the corner edge of the deck, otherwise known as the Eastern Point, and you\u2019ll be surrounded by only the air and sky as you look out at the city beyond you. The glass panels along the edges are angled outward, giving you the thrilling sense of leaning out over the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The view from Edge is unbeatable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the western side of Manhattan, you can see all the way from Central Park<\/a> down to the Statue of Liberty<\/a>, and beyond. It shows off a panorama of the entire NYC skyline in one gaze. If you walk to the top of the Skyline Seats, you can get an even higher perspective, looking out over the glass panels and past the edge of the deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top also features a restaurant on Level 101. Peak<\/a> is both a sleek, upscale eatery and bar as well as event space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
