Forget the observatory of the Empire State Building, the observation deck of the Sears Tower or the Grand Canyon Skywalk. If you want truly picturesque views to enjoy yourself and share on the ‘Gram, you need to check out the sky deck of the New York Edge building. Built with a one-of-a-kind design and suspended in mid-air some 100 stories about Hudson Yards, the new Edge high-rise has the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere and offers 360-degree views of all of New York. The unique sky deck extends out almost 80 feet, has a total of 7,500 square feet of viewing area and is built with a partial glass floor and angled glass walls, so there’s no shortage of daredevil thrills either. It’s truly one of the best views you’ll get of New York, and as of today, it’s open to the public.
