Room with a phew: New York tower’s in a glass of its own
Towering 427m above the streets of New York City, the Big Apple’s newest observation deck, Summit One Vanderbilt, has opened to the public.
Towering 427m above the streets of New York City, the Big Apple’s newest observation deck, Summit One Vanderbilt, has opened to the public for the first time – and the reactions of those who made it to the very top ranged from breathless wonder to heart-palpitating disbelief.
Located in the heart of Manhattan, the tower features an outdoor terrace, a glass elevator on the exterior of the building, and glass-bottom booths overlooking Madison Avenue below.
Visitors are able to look down on the Empire State Building and right across the sprawling New York skyline.
