Good to Know Before You Visit Edge NYC
Edge NYC sits on the 100th floor of 30 Hudson Yards, on Manhattan's west side, so it makes sense to think of your visit in two parts: the open-air sky deck and the indoor viewing space right behind it. The main draw is the outdoor platform, which pushes out from the side of the tower roughly 1,100 feet above the street. From there you get sweeping views across Manhattan, the Hudson River, and Central Park to the north. The deck's best-known features are the glass floor section, where you can look straight down to the ground, and the angled glass walls that lean outward so you can stand right up against them. If the outdoor terrace is crowded or the weather turns cold, the indoor area has floor-to-ceiling windows and climate control with views just as good.
The platform is high and exposed, so wind is a real factor even in mild weather and a jacket is worth bringing. Looking east you can pick out Midtown landmarks like the Empire State Building, and on clear days the view stretches past Manhattan to New Jersey, Brooklyn, and Lower Manhattan. Edge NYC is open daily from 09:00 to 21:00, with last entry at 20:00, though hours can shift around holidays and special events. Getting there is simple: the 7 subway line stops at 34 St-Hudson Yards, a short walk from the entrance, and buses, taxis, and ride-share all serve the area. Keep in mind the guide does not accompany you up to the deck, so this part of the day is yours to explore at your own pace.
