The deck extends 80 feet out from the building, creating a thrilling "floating in the sky" experience.

One of the Edge's most striking features is its glass floor section, allowing visitors to look straight down at the streets of Manhattan far below. The glass walls of the deck are angled outward, providing unobstructed, panoramic views of the city skyline, the Hudson River, and beyond. The Edge offers a unique perspective of New York City and perfect spot to relax before your next New York adventure!
