Edge at Hudson Yards
The western hemisphere's highest outdoor sky deck, jutting from Hudson Yards with a glass floor 100 stories up.
Example
The triangular glass floor lets you look straight down a hundred stories, and the western position puts the Hudson sunset directly in front of you.

Frequently asked questions
Which deck should I choose if I only do one?
Depends on the shot: Top of the Rock for the classic skyline, SUMMIT for spectacle, Edge for vertigo and sunsets. Locations differ more than heights.
Is City Climb worth it?
For thrill-seekers with the budget, it is unique in the hemisphere. Everyone else gets 95 percent of the value from the standard deck.
How does Edge fit into a High Line walk?
It caps it. The park ends practically at the base of the building, so walking north from Gansevoort Street and going up at the end is the natural sequence.
