The views from Edge at Hudson Yards will extend indoors this year as the Western Hemisphere’s highest indoor and outdoor observation deck unveils a new multi-sensory immersive experience. Created in collaboration with Journey, Moment Factory, and New York-based design firm SOFTlab, Edge, from its 4th-floor entry to its 100th-floor sky deck, has been reimagined in a multi-million-dollar transformation featuring new permanent installations. Debuting this summer, the overhaul also introduces refreshed culinary offerings, including upgraded food and cocktail options, and the return of Marquee Skydeck, one of the city’s highest nightlife venues.
“Pulse” is a fully immersive world of pulsing electric color, light, and sound that reflects the city’s exhilarating energy. “Crystal Cave” invites visitors into a rainbow of translucent jewels that shift color with the movement of the sun from sunrise to sunset.
“Infinite City” features boundless vertical luminous “skyscrapers” that fragment and reframe sweeping city views into a hypnotic series of worlds within worlds. Additional installations are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks.
The new attractions push Edge beyond a traditional observation deck into a fully immersive entertainment experience, expanding its nighttime offerings and engaging guests before they even reach the sky deck.
“Situated 1,100 feet above one of the greatest cities on earth, Edge at Hudson Yards will transform what it means to be a NYC landmark. Guests will be welcomed into a breathtaking, kaleidoscopic world before they even reach our thrilling outdoor sky deck,” Andrew Lustgarten, executive chairman of Hudson Yards Experiences, said.
“The new Edge is driven by immersive design, emotional storytelling, and our desire to create experiences that people want to share and return to again and again.”
Guests will also enjoy a revamped food and beverage experience. Designed by Journey and curated by Tao Group Hospitality, the all-weather eateries will offer small plates, handcrafted cocktails, and signature beverages at Edge’s champagne bar, bringing elevated dining to every visit.
Following a successful debut last year, Tao Group’s seasonal outdoor nightlife experience at Edge, Marquee Sundeck will return on May 1 as a permanent fixture. The venue will feature a lineup of global talent, including MK, Benny Benassi, Cassian, Gareth Emery, Kaz James, Layla Benitez, Hot Since 82, and others.
Edge will be open seven days a week ahead of the launch of the new experiences. General admission starts at $40. Tickets are available for purchase here.
