The Edge
Another great attraction you can enjoy in 2020 in New York is The Edge, the new observatory of the city. This place will be the tallest exterior viewpoint in the Big Apple. Part of its balcony is made of glass, so if you look down you will see the asphalt, a real challenge for those who are afraid of heights.
On the other hand, the terrace of this observatory will not be closed by railings, but by glass panels that are inclined outwards, something fantastic, a different attraction to the observatories that already exist in the city. As a matter of fact, The Edge is 335 meters high.
