About this audio guide
This guide to Edge NYC, the sky deck atop 30 Hudson Yards, opens on March 11, 2020, the day it welcomed its first visitors and the same day the world changed around it. You'll hear how the platform's glass floor was engineered, and what it took to build a foundation for this deck and the neighborhood beneath it above active Long Island Rail Road yards. It traces the site from an ordinary opening morning through the months the deck stood empty above a locked-down Manhattan.
