In the first in a 7-part interview series, NYC & Company and ITTN present Hudson Yards, to bring you in touch with the latest and greatest that New York City has to offer. Hudson Yards is NYC’s newest neighbourhood. It is home to two premier attractions, Edge and City Climb plus much more.
ITTN’s Shane Cullen interviews Haley Ward from Hudson Yards to find out what’s on offer and why this should be on your itinerary.
Hudson Yards – Edge & City Climb
Hudson Yards is New York’s newest neighbourhood on Manhattan’s West Side. It is home to 100+ shops and culinary experiences, public art and cultural institutions as well as 14 acres of public plazas, gardens and groves. Hudson Yards is also home to two premier attractions.
Edge – Hudson Yards
The first is Edge – the tallest outdoor observation deck in the western hemisphere. There is an indoor observation deck on floor 100 and a cantilever deck. This extends out over the edge by 20 meters so you can effectively step out “into the sky”.
City Climb – Hudson Yards
City Climb is the latest offering from Hudson Yards. Strap on a harness and exit about five floors ABOVE Edge. Then climb up a 160-step staircase all the way up to the apex of the building and, if you dare, lean out over New York City a mere 1,200 feet above the ground. It boasts the accolade of being the tallest outdoor building climb in the world. It is also the highest public point a person can be in New York City.
