The Edge (EOD) is fantastic! unlike other sky scrappers in New York, The Edge offers an open air access to the scenic citysacape. So, you not only just SEE the city, but FEEL it too! Its unique position assures maximum city skyline and view of the nearby river too. Almost all important landmarks of NEw York are visible from EOD, marking all the boxes...checked!. It was a fan moment for me when I saw the 'New Yorker' building from the EOD, making it easy for me to go their. I had done some research before chosing EOD. Other similar attractions in the city are behind the glasses and indoor in nature. Whereas, EOD's open air ambience gallery makes it stand out. Will come again!

The Edge Observation Deck was absolutely breathtaking! The view of the New York skyline was incredible, especially on a clear, sunny day. The glass floor and open-air deck gave such a thrilling perspective of the city below. The staff was friendly, and everything was well organized from entry to exit. Perfect spot for photos and soaking in the beauty of NYC from above. Highly recommend visiting right before sunset for the best light and views!

We loved the Edge from the very start getting through the building with Christmas lights to the alivator with picturesque views inside to the edge itself and the magnificent views of the city that never sleeps. We also enjoyed the drink inside with a view while warming up our bodies from the cold wind. All in all we had such a great experience!

    I loved the time entry. Allowed us to enjoy it without crowds and get pictures. I could have stayed at the edge all day it was so peaceful going in the morning. The vessel was very fun to climb and see the different vantage points. When I went we were limited to one side of the vessel only but I didn't mind.

    I really loved the viewpoints at the edge. It was very cool to see the entire New York City line from the top of the deck at the edge.
