Get entry tickets to Edge, a marvel of architecture, engineering, and technology, suspended in mid-air over 1100 feet above the ground. Get the feeling of floating in the sky and take in the entire Manhattan skyline from Edge's unique vantage point on the western side of Midtown Manhattan.

Begin your journey on Level 4 of The Shops at Hudson Yards, where you will enter into an immersive multimedia experience explaining the design, construction, and sustainability of Hudson Yards.

Then, head up over 1100 feet to the Observation Deck, and then 80 feet out into the air on the Outdoor Sky Deck. Here, frameless glass panel walls are boldly angled outwards to allow you to feel the thrill of leaning out over the edge with the busy city below.

Next, stand on the glass floor and look over 100 stories straight down to the city streets below your feet. At Edge's furthest point, The Eastern Point, there's space for one person to stand alone, surrounded by glass, air, and sky—you will never have had a picture quite like it.

The upper level also features the Skyline Steps, where you can look out over the top of the glass panels and past the edge of the deck. Have a seat and hang out in the sky with your friends and family, or head indoors and sip champagne or a signature cocktail at the Champagne Bar.

This summer from July 8 - Aug 28, Edge invites you to Vinyl & Views, a vibrant evening music series that brings together live DJ sets, refreshing seasonal cocktails, and mouthwatering bites crafted by Tao Group Hospitality. As the sun sets over the Hudson and the city lights sparkle to life, you’ll experience an unforgettable slice of magic.

From Tuesday to Thursday, starting at 6:30 PM, elevate your night 1,100 feet above the bustling streets below. Sip on frozen Green Tea Mango Daiquiris, zesty Patrón Palomas, or freshly squeezed Street Lemonade, perfectly paired with -inspired bites like Banh Mi Hot Dogs, Sigmund’s Pretzels, and LAVO’s famous cannolis. With feel-good beats from a live DJ and panoramic views of the city skyline, Vinyl & Views is your ticket to an extraordinary summer evening.

When you leave be sure to visit Hudson Yards' centerpiece, Vessel, or enjoy a bite to eat or a shopping experience at The Shops and Restaurants at Hudson Yards.
