I recently visited New York City to visit my daughter who recently moved from San Francisco bay area to Big Apple! One of the attractions I visited is The Edge.
The Edge is an observation deck located in Hudson Yard, New York City. It is located on the 100th floor of of a skyscraper in the Hudson Yards, Hudson Yards is located on the west side of Manhattan. Another attraction in Hudson Yards is an interesting architecture called Vessel.
In fact The Edge is known as the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere. It offers breath taking panoramic view of New York City. You can view several New York City land marks like Central Park, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, One World Trade Center, Hudson River and various other prominent land marks.
Another cool feature of this deck is a triangular shape with a glass floor, I felt really dizzy walking on this glass floor, which gives a floating effect at that height. There are also various interactive exhibits and information panels to learn more about the city’s history and landmarks.
We took a walk on the High Line on the previous day, which is an old subway line converted in to a popular park. Here is a Shot of Sky Scraper on which The Edge is located from The High Line.
Here is a Close up shot of Edge from The High Line. You can see people standing on the observation deck!
The entrance or the elevators to The Edge are located on the 4th floor of the 30 Hudson Yards, shopping mall. It is recommended to buy tickets ahead of time. Since we visited on a weekday, it was not crowded and there were no lines to go up to deck.
Here is the entrance to elevator on the fourth floor.
Once you take a ride in the high speed elevator and go up 100 floors, you end up in this observation deck. When we visited there were spectacular rain clouds, which you can see in the cover photo of this post. It also started drizzling during our visit and it was extremely windy too. This added to the thrill of standing at 100+ floor observation deck.

Here you can see Central park and several other Sky scrapers.
