IS THE EDGE NYC WORTH IT?

By An Trieu

THE EDGE

Located on the 100th floor at 30 Hudson Yards, NYC, the Edge is the tallest outdoor observation deck in the Western Hemisphere.

EDGE EXPERIENCE

You're standing on the triangular shaped deck with a Glass Floor that looks down to Manhattan streets and a 360 degree views of NYC.

what to expect

The crowd! Be mindful of others as you shouldn't take up the same spot too long and let other people enjoy the views and take their photos, too.

BEST TIME TO GO

Early in the morning to avoid the crowd. Best light for photos is always around sunrise or sunset.

VIEWS

Empire State Building, One World Trade Center, Central Park, Summit One Vanderbilt, Hudson River, and New Jersey

top tip:

Stay after sunset as the sky will change colors and the crowd will quickly disperse. You'll get to relax and watch the city lights turned on.

review

The Edge is clean, modern, and unique. In terms of skyline views, Top of The Rock and Empire State Building offer charming classic NYC skyline views. It's worth to go once.
