Observation deck at Grand Central

One Vanderbilt is on the corner of 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Avenue, opposite Grand Central. The One Vanderbilt observation deck covers the 57th, 58th and 59th floor of the impressive skyscraper. It offers unique views of the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Bryant Park and Times Square which are all nearby. There’s also an outdoor terrace with high-end food and beverage options. One Vanderbilt is also home to many offices, shops and even a space for cultural projects.

Special features inside Summit

Summit One Vanderbilt is not your ordinary observation deck. It has two glass-floored overhangs called ‘Levitation’ that, if you’re not afraid of heights, you can step into for some great views of Madison Avenue. There is also a unique ‘infinity room’ with high ceilings, which is filled with mirrors to create a surreal experience and let you take the most impressive selfies. All in all, a visit to Summit will immerse you in the best views of New York in several ways.

Outdoor Experience

Of course, you also have to step outside to fully explore everything Summit has to offer. The main attraction here – apart from the stunning view – is ‘Ascent’: two elevators made of glass that will go up from the observatory. On the outside of the building that is! Once they’ve reached the top, they will stay there for a few minutes so you can enjoy the incredible view. After they have descended again, you can go straight to the outdoor terrace for a drink. The terrace named ‘Après’ offers high-end food and beverage options for a true culinary experience. Please note that the elevators are an extra attraction, that you need separate tickets for.

Eric’s Tip: Summit is relatively close to the Empire State Building. It offers a great, up-close view of this New York icon, which I was very surprised about. You can enter and exit the building via a new hallway at Grand Central, where an impressive entrance has been built.
