As multicultural as New York is, there is one religion to which all residents pay homage: gigantism. And so sometimes read PR announcements for a new attraction such as handouts for spiritual awakening. “The moment you step out onto the highest outdoor terrace in the Western Hemisphere is a moment you will never forget,” it says on the Website for the new “Edge Observation Deck”. “Rise above the clouds, the birds, the city itself.” The platform with Zen potential, about 335 meters above the city’s busy streets, is part of the largest private real estate project in American history: “The Hudson Yards” extend from 30th to 34th Street and are intended between Chelsea and Meatpacking District will be nothing less than the new trendy neighborhood on the banks of the Hudson River; an area with exclusive office space, luxury apartments, high-priced restaurants and lots of shopping opportunities.
However, visitors still had to wait for the enlightening moment when entering the associated viewing platform. The opening of “The Edge” – named after the tapering floor plan of the almost 20 meter long balcony – is in March 2020. Photos on the real estate blog Curbed give an idea that the view should actually be spectacular. Although superlatives are relative in this city: We have put together places for you from which you also have a unique view of New York.
