About this tour

This five-hour outing pairs a 3-hour guided walking tour of Manhattan with entry to Edge NYC, the open-air sky deck above Hudson Yards. A local guide leads you past more than 20 of the city's best-known sights on foot, from Wall Street down through the old districts. Afterward you head up to the 100th-floor deck, where angled glass walls and a glass floor section put the skyline, the Hudson River, and Central Park in full view. It's a small-group tour with a guide who knows the neighborhoods well.

Edge NYC: Getting There, Hours and What to Expect on the Deck

Edge NYC sits at 30 Hudson Yards on Manhattan's west side, part of the same complex as the Vessel and the Shops at Hudson Yards. The simplest way to arrive is the 7 subway line to the 34 St-Hudson Yards station, which drops you right by the building. Several bus routes serve the area as well, and taxis or ride-share work fine. A high-speed elevator carries you up to the 100th floor in under a minute.

The deck is open daily, roughly 09:00 to 21:00 with last entry around 20:00, though times can shift during holidays or special events, so it's worth checking before you go. The main draw is the outdoor platform that angles out from the side of the tower about 1,100 feet above the street, with a glass floor section and outward-leaning glass walls; indoor viewing areas with floor-to-ceiling windows are there for colder days or when the terrace gets busy. Wind is a real factor at this height, so bring a jacket even in mild weather. Sunset is the most sought-after slot and tends to fill first, and most people spend under an hour on the deck itself, a bit longer if they stop at the champagne bar.

Most visits run under an hour on the deck itself, closer to 1 to 2 hours if you stop for a drink or wait out the crowd at the glass floor.
When is the best time to visit Edge NYC for sunset?
Aim for late afternoon into early evening so you catch the skyline shift from daylight to city lights. Sunset slots sell out first, so book ahead.

Outside food and drink aren't permitted, and smaller personal items are fine, but larger bags may be screened at security.
Is there a dress code for Edge NYC?
No dress code, but dress for the weather. Wind is strong at this height, so a jacket is a good idea even on mild days.

What makes the Edge deck's shape unusual?
It angles out from the side of the tower, so you're standing well past the edge of the building with the city below and around you, rather than looking straight down a flat wall.
What is there to do on the deck besides take in the view?
A section of glass floor lets you look straight down to the ground, you can lean against the outward-angled glass walls, and there's a small champagne bar if you want a drink.
Is Edge NYC near other Hudson Yards attractions?
Yes. It shares the complex with the Vessel and the Shops at Hudson Yards, so it pairs easily with a wider walk around the neighborhood.
