The Edge, NYC – New outdoor sky deck with glass floor.
Are you looking for a new place to see in New York City? Do you want to have some fun and walk on the outdoor sky deck with a glass floor?
Super! I have a great recommendation for you. Finally! The Edge, marvel of architecture in New York City is open. I’ve been waiting for it for years. Every time I walked around NYC, especially a Hudson Yards area, I was gazing at this new, beautiful building with the outdoor sky deck. Then when Covid-19 happened, I thought that this place will never open. Surprisingly, this dark scenario didn’t happen and I was able to visit Edge with my husband in November, 2020. Definitely this NYC attraction is one of my recommendations, if you are looking for a safe place to visit during the pandemic. Everyone follows CDC guidelines, masks are required all the time (even outdoor on the deck), there is a touchless elevator, touchless security points, social distancing and many more. I was little hesitating to book a ticket for the Edge during Covid-19 times but on the end I was very positively surprised.
My Amazon Picks:
In my opinion, Edge is awesome. It is the highest outdoor sky deck in Western Hemisphere. You need to book a ticket in advance for it. When you get there, there is a beautiful lobby with a digital ceiling showing Central Park. Then you walk through small, very high tech museum showing history of Hudson Yards. Then my favorite elevator…that’s such a fun ride!!! 100 floors in 15 seconds while watching the show on all walls surrounding you. It is a super nice, thrilling experience. Definitely, I would do it again. I wish every hotel I’m staying in have the elevator like this…lol. When you are finally on top, you can float in the sky and enjoy the 360-degree view. As you can see on this pic, it is very windy on top 🙂
This beautiful outdoor sky deck is surrounded by the angled glass, which you can lean against. Additionally, it has a portion with the glass floor! I loved it.
My Amazon Picks:
After visiting Edge, you can explore Hudson Yards Mall with great stores and awesome restaurants.
Definitely, I will come back to visit Edge again but I will book a ticket for the sunset this time:)

This looks like a cool place to visit in NYC. I live only about 3 hours from NYC. I didn’t know about this place. I’ll have to check it out sometime.
Wow! That is crazy! I would love to visit there next time in NYC-I think I may need to her over my fear of heights but that is an incredible reason to do so!
This is incredible! I will be in the Big Apple next month and will sure check this spot out. Thank you so much for featuring it here in your blog!
Hi Kris,
I’m glad you found it interesting:) Let me know your feedback after visiting Edge.
I’m from Canada and I visited NY in 2014 for the first time and fell in love! I was able to go back in 2019 and I can’t wait to go back. I will definately put the Outdoor Sky deck on my to do list. Thanks!
Hi Cecile,
Oh nice meeting you here. I love Canada. I’ve been there few times. I hope you will able to come to NYC soon.
Wow, the picture on the glass floor made my stomach lurch! It reminds me of standing on a similar floor over the Grand Canyon. Just beautiful! Thanks for writing this post, I never even know this existed, now I’ll have to check it out!
Hi Alicia, definitely the one over the Grand Canyon is cool too. When I visited Grand Canyon, that glass bridge haven’t exist yet. It is on my list 🙂
Monika! What in the heck are you doing sitting on that glass. LOL. I loved NY when I visited years ago and would love to go back again but you won’t find me sitting on the glass deck. Ha. Great post! Holly
Haha, Hi Holly, I’m glad you like my post. Agree that NYC is a lovely place and I hope you will be able to visit it again soon.
I’ve never been to New York City. I would be scared to death to walk on the glass floor as you did.
Hi Tammy,
I hope you will have a chance to visit NYC one day. It’s really worth it…if you like big cities of course.
Nice info, I have sent several people to the edge and they loved it also! They did the sunset time and then a wonderful dinner, made for a great night with the family.
Sunset time is on my list…I heard is very magical and romantic!
That looks amazing! Next time I’m in NYC I’m definitely going to check this out!
This place looks amazing! Thanks for sharing your little hidden gem, or maybe not so hidden! Haha adding this to my list of must sees for when I finally make it NYC.
What an awesome place! I might be scared to walk on the glass floor? but it does look like the views are amazing! Thanks for sharing!
