Edge, among the highest outdoor sky decks in the Western Hemisphere, announced that it reopened to the public on 2 September 2020 at Noon. 

The outdoor observation deck at Hudson Yards, on Manhattan’s far West side, was only open for a short time before the pandemic shut the city down. 

To ensure a safe, socially distant experience for all visitors, Edge has been working in close collaboration with the Mount Sinai Health System to implement a number of new enhanced measures in accordance with guidance issued by federal, state and local authorities which include: increased and rigorous cleaning procedures; operating under reduced capacity; timed tickets with staggered arrival to avoid queues and crowds; required temperature screenings using state-of-the-art, no contact thermal scanners; flexible ticket policies; floor markings throughout the experience to help maintain appropriate social distance between visitors and employees; and touch-less elevators operating at reduced capacities.

All visitors and employees will be required to wear face coverings as well. Complimentary face coverings will be available for those who require them.
