How High is the Edge? A Tale of Heights and Heights
So, you wanna know how high the Edge in New York is? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to take a dizzying ride up the skyscraper of information.
Edge of What?
Let's clear something up first. We're talking about the Edge, not the edge. There's a big difference. One is a fancy observation deck on top of a super tall building, and the other is where your sanity starts to fray when you're trying to decide what to wear.
How High is Too High?
The Edge, my friend, is a whopping 1,100 feet above the concrete jungle. That's like stacking 110 ten-story buildings on top of each other. And if you're scared of heights, let me just say, it's not for the faint of heart. Or those with a fear of heights. Or anyone who gets vertigo just looking up at a tall ladder.
You Want Me to Do What?
Now, before you start planning your own personal wing suit flight, let's be clear: there's a glass floor. Yes, you read that right. Glass. Floor. So, if you're the kind of person who likes to look down while walking, this might not be your cup of tea. Or coffee. Or any beverage, really.
