Hey everyone! I’m back with another exciting blog post about my recent visit to Edge NYC with my lovely wife. We had an amazing time exploring this incredible observation deck, and I’m thrilled to share our experience with you.
Getting There
We took the subway to Hudson Yards, which is the closest station to Edge NYC. The journey was smooth, and we reached the destination in about 20 minutes from our hotel. As we walked out of the station, we saw the stunning Hudson Yards complex, and our excitement grew.
Buying Tickets
We bought our tickets online in advance, which I highly recommend. It saved us time and ensured that we could visit at our preferred time slot. The ticket price was around $32 per person, which was reasonable considering the breathtaking views we were about to experience.
Security Check
Before entering Edge NYC, we went through a security check, which was quick and efficient. We were asked to remove our belts, phones, and wallets, and then we walked through a metal detector. My wife had a small bag, which was checked by the security personnel.
The Experience
As we entered Edge NYC, we were amazed by the stunning views of the city. The observation deck is located on the 100th floor of 30 Hudson Yards, and it offers 360-degree views of the Manhattan skyline. We spent hours taking in the breathtaking views, clicking photos, and enjoying the thrill of being so high up.
The Glass Floor
One of the most exciting features of Edge NYC is the glass floor, which is 100 floors above the ground. My wife was a bit hesitant to walk on it, but I encouraged her to give it a try. We both loved the experience, and it was an adrenaline rush like no other.
The Views
The views from Edge NYC are simply stunning. We could see the entire Manhattan skyline, including iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and One World Trade Center. We also saw the Hudson River, New Jersey Palisades, and the Statue of Liberty in the distance.
Dining Experience
After spending a few hours at Edge NYC, we decided to grab some lunch at the on-site restaurant, Peak. We were seated by the window, which offered stunning views of the city. My wife ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, which was delicious and cost around $25. I opted for the Edge Burger, which was juicy and flavorful, and cost around $22. We also shared a plate of Truffle Fries, which were crispy and addictive, and cost around $15.
