Edge NYC Tickets: Sunset VIP Entry with Champagne
About this tour
Head up to Edge, the open-air sky deck that pushes out from the 100th floor of 30 Hudson Yards, more than 1,100 feet over Manhattan's west side. This VIP sunset ticket gets you skip-the-line entry and priority elevator access, so you reach the top fast. Once there, lean against the angled glass walls, step onto the glass floor and look straight down to the streets, then take in the skyline, the Hudson River, and Central Park. A glass of champagne is included while you watch the light change.
Highlights
- 360-degree views across the New York City skyline from one of Manhattan's highest observation decks.
- Stand on the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere, suspended above Hudson Yards.
- Ride a high-speed elevator to the 100th floor in under a minute.
- Lean against the angled glass walls and step onto the outdoor terrace for views straight down over the city.
- Step onto the glass floor and look straight down to the streets 100 stories below your feet.
- Stand against glass walls that lean outward, so you're well past the edge of the tower itself.
- Look out over Hudson Yards, the Hudson River, and the skyline running south toward Lower Manhattan.

Good to Know Before You Visit Edge NYC
Edge NYC sits at 30 Hudson Yards on Manhattan's west side, and this VIP ticket is built around sunset, the busiest and most sought-after window of the day. Plan on spending roughly an hour out on the deck, a bit longer if you stop at the champagne bar or wait for a clear turn on the glass-floor section. The deck itself is the draw: an open-air platform that angles out from the 100th floor, with glass walls that lean outward so you can stand right up against them, a glass floor to look straight down over the streets, and sweeping views east toward the Empire State Building, north over Central Park, and west across the Hudson River. On clear days you can pick out parts of New Jersey, Brooklyn, and Lower Manhattan in the distance. There are also indoor viewing areas with floor-to-ceiling windows if the weather turns or the terrace gets busy.
Because the platform is so high, wind is a real factor, so bring a jacket even in milder weather. Edge is open daily from 09:00 to 21:00, with last entry at 20:00, though hours can shift around holidays or special events. Getting there is simple: take the 7 subway line to the 34th Street-Hudson Yards station, right by the building, from which it's a short walk to the entrance. Several bus lines serve the area, and taxis and ride-share are easy to find.
