You've Heard of the Ledge, Now Get Ready to Edge Out Over NYC
Ever felt like vanilla ice cream is just a bit too...vanilla? Like maybe your selfies need a little more "wow" factor? Well, my friend, then you need to ditch the boring tourist traps and hotfoot it over to the Edge NYC.
But First, What in the Skyscraper is the Edge NYC?
Let's cut to the chase. The Edge NYC isn't some shady nightclub on the outskirts of town (although that might be fun too). It's the highest outdoor observation deck in the entire Western Hemisphere, perched proudly on the 100th floor of 30 Hudson Yards.
Translation: you're about to be standing a cool 1,100 feet in the air, with nothing but fresh air (and maybe a few nervous butterflies) between you and the bustling streets of New York City below.
Okay, I'm Intrigued, But Tell Me More About This Edgy Experience
Alright, alright, settle down there Lewis and Clark. Here's what you can expect at the Edge NYC:
- Panoramic Views That Will Make Your Phone Camera Weep: We're talking 360-degree vistas that stretch from the tip of Central Park all the way down to Lady Liberty taking a nap on her island.
- A Glass Floor That Will Test Your Relationship With Heights: Ever wondered what it feels like to be a daring tightrope walker? Now you can find out (without the tightrope or the danger...hopefully).
- Angled Glass Walls That Will Make You Feel Like You're in a Real-Life Superhero Movie: Lean out over the city and pretend you're about to save the day from a rogue pigeon or a bagel shortage (those are serious threats in NYC, you know).
- A Champagne Bar Because Why Not?: Because sometimes, you just need a little bubbly to go with your existential crisis about how tiny you are compared to the vastness of New York City.
Basically, the Edge NYC is the ultimate bragging right for any self-respecting adventurer/selfie enthusiast.
So, How Do I Get My Edge On?
Getting your Edge on is surprisingly easy. You can snag tickets online or right at the entrance. Just be prepared to be amazed (and maybe a little woozy).
Pro Tip: If you're feeling peckish, there's also a restaurant on-site where you can refuel before (or after) you conquer your fear of heights.
So ditch the ordinary, my friend. Embrace the Edge!
