Edge switches on the holidays with 50,000 twinkling lights high over Hudson Yards

New York City’s highest outdoor sky deck is putting a high priority on holiday spirit this year: Edge, suspended in mid-air 100 stories above Hudson Yards, is gearing up to give you a spectacular view of the season with 50,000 lights, switched-on trees, giant hot air balloon displays and a mouth-watering batch of holiday beverages.

Beginning December 17, Edge will be open four more hours each day–from 8:00 a.m. to midnight–to give visitors more time to take in 360-degree city views through a glass floor, angled glass walls, and skyline steps.

Also on the schedule are carols by the New York Holiday Singers–the perfect backdrop for sipping festive treats like “Cocoa in the Clouds,” (think hot chocolate and fresh whipped cream topped with a rice crispy treat and crushed peppermint), “Edge Nog,” or an “Ice Cold Martini.”

Want to share the above-it-all cheer? Gift vouchers are available. Edge is open seven days a week; you can find out more and buy tickets here.
