On our last full day in New York, it was time to head up to the top of one of the sky scrapers.



The Empire State Building has the disadvantage to not have a view of the Empire State building, so we headed over to ‘The Edge’ at Hudson Yards.



But first with a stop at the New York Public Library, which had a very nice interior.







After this we headed to the Edge where we were able to buy tickets for a time slot within 20 minutes at the vending machines, so we quite quickly were heading upstairs.

The terrace at the Edge is very spacious with a nice view of the most important landmarks. However due to bad weather and wind, half of the terrace was closed.

Another nice discovery was that up next to the viewing terrace is a rather nice restaurant called peak, where they luckily had some seats left at the bar where we had a nice bottle of Chablis as an aperitive while enjoying the views.

Next time, we’ll probably book a table at the restaurant and have the same view as the observation deck.






As the edge is right at the start of the Highline, we walked the whole Highline until the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Of course, liking food, we made a stop at Chelsea Market for a light lunch.








After finishing the whole Highline, we walked back to the St-Regis passing by the Flat Iron Building, which was unfortunately covered in scaffolds.
