Complete Guide To Edge NYC & City Climb: New York's City Most ...

Edge NYC is one of the newest additions to the Manhattan observation decks. Hovering 100 floors above the city streets, this sky deck offers jaw-dropping views over Manhattan. Adding to the thrill is the glass floor, where you can peer down to the city streets far below.

In late 2021, Edge NYC elevated the thrill factor by unveiling their new experience, City Climb NYC. While wearing a harness, scale the outside of the skyscraper to the highest outdoor observation deck in the city. If you dare, you can lean out over the edge for a real thrill.

In 2021, we visited Edge twice. In June, we visited the Edge both at sunset and midday, on two separate days. Weather conditions in and around Manhattan can disrupt even the most carefully planned visit, as we learned. In November, we returned to the Edge to participate in City Climb. And let me tell you, it’s awesome!

In this guide, we share with you everything you need to know about how to visit the Edge and City Climb, from the best photo spots, to how to get your tickets, and tips to have the best experience.
