Across The Hudson
See and Experience New York City Like Never Before
Scheduled to open mid-March, Edge is the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere extending out 80 feet from the 100th floor of 30 Hudson Yards in New York. Rising over 1,100 feet in the air visitors will be stunned by the outdoor viewing area that reveals 360-degree vantages of New York City’s iconic skyline, Western New Jersey and New York State—spanning up to 80 miles.
“Stepping onto Edge is like walking out into the sky. The entire experience is designed to inspire visitors and ignite a new passion for New York City with multiple, built-in thrill elements that ensure Edge becomes a must-see local attraction and a top spot on every travelers’ bucket list,” said Jason Horkin, Executive Director of Hudson Yards Experiences.
The sky deck includes a thrilling 225 square foot glass floor offering unprecedented views of the city below, and has ninefoot tall, boldly angled glass walls enabling visitors to vertically lean out over Manhattan. Visitors can enjoy a glass of champagne or signature cocktail and light bites from the champagne bar. And for a one-of-a-kind dining experience, Peak, a restaurant, bar, cafe and event space located on the 101st floor, will serve lunch and dinner.
Edge will be open seven days a week year-round from 8am to midnight. Tickets are now available at www.edgenyc.com.
