Best Place to Propose in NYC? Why Edge Tops the List
Thinking about proposing in New York City? The skyline, the energy, the romance—this city was made for once in a lifetime moments. But if you’re looking for something more than a stroll through Central Park or a crowded dinner downtown, Edge at Hudson Yards offers a proposal experience that’s truly unforgettable – elevated in every sense of the word.
A Proposal With a View – Literally 1,100 Feet Above the City
Edge isn’t just another observation deck. It’s the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere, suspended in midair 100 stories above Manhattan. Its dramatic glass floor, angled glass walls, and panoramic views set the scene for a proposal that’s anything but ordinary.
From here, you can see the entire city – Hudson River sunsets to the west, the Empire State Building in the distance, and Central Park stretching out like a green canvas to the north. It’s bold, it’s dramatic, and it’s romantic.

Planning Tips for a Seamless Experience
- Book early: Private proposal slots are limited and can book out weeks in advance—especially around peak times like Valentine’s Day or the holiday season.
- Leave time for security and elevators: Even with priority access, it’s wise to arrive at least 30–45 minutes early.
- Hire a proposal photographer: Edge allows photos, but not all professional gear (like tripods or lighting). Hiring someone familiar with the location can make a difference.
