Is it worth visiting on a cloudy day?

Edge's single 100th-floor deck sits at 343 m, high enough to clear Manhattan's typical low cloud base on many overcast days — but every square metre of it is outdoors, glass floor included, so it's fully exposed to whatever the sky is actually doing. A day that clears the cloud but brings rain or gusty wind is still an uncomfortable one up here, which is why wind and precipitation weigh as heavily as cloud in this deck's reasons.

When is the best time to go up?

With no enclosed fallback level, a calm, dry window matters more here than on decks with an indoor option — check the best window above rather than the verdict alone. Golden hour gives the strongest light for the glass floor and the Hudson Yards views, if the wind cooperates.
