Edge: See NYC From New Heights
After some serious shopping, it’s time for a break, with a view. Edge, the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere, offers a 360° view of NYC’s skyline like you’ve never seen before. Step out onto the glass floor (if you dare), snap jaw-dropping selfies and toast to your NYC weekend with champagne at the top.
