The Edge at Hudson Yards is the highest outdoor observation deck in the Western Hemisphere — 100 floors and 1,131 feet (345 m) above Manhattan’s Far West Side, with a Glass Floor, Angled Glass Walls, Skyline Steps, and the Eastern Point jutting over the Hudson River. General Admission from US$41; Flex Pass from US$63; City Climb US$202. Open daily 8 am to 11 pm. Free digital souvenir photo included. Children under 6 free with an adult ticket holder.
The Edge at Hudson Yards opened in March 2020 and immediately redefined what a New York City observation deck experience could be. At 1,131 feet — the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere — it is not simply taller than most of its competition. It is structurally unlike anything else: a deck that juts 80 feet beyond the building’s facade into open air above the Hudson River, with a Glass Floor, Angled Glass Walls, and a champagne bar at 1,100 feet.

Step onto transparent glass and look directly down 100 storeys to the streets below — one of the most viscerally thrilling moments at any NYC observation deck. Engineered from multiple laminated glass layers, the floor is structurally robust. First-timers often approach tentatively; most end up lying flat on it for photographs.
The deck’s perimeter walls angle outward at 14 degrees — eliminating the feeling of a conventional railing barrier and creating the impression of leaning over the city with nothing but air and the Manhattan skyline in view.
The Eastern Point is the sharpest corner of the deck — the section projecting furthest into open air over Hudson Yards and the Hudson River. The Skyline Steps provide an elevated platform above the glass panels for a higher vantage point and a unique photographic angle with the Manhattan skyline rising behind you.
Sipping champagne at 1,100 feet above Manhattan is an extraordinary experience. The Edge’s on-deck bar serves champagne, wine, beer, cocktails, soft drinks, coffee, and savoury and sweet snacks. Cards only — no cash accepted.
