This reminds me of back in my home village, I once went to the top of the tallest building in town! Man, the view from the 4th floor there was amaaaazing!
Yeah my anxiety riddled brain would not process all this visual information well. I always hated 3d movies. I envy people who can do all these activities without anxiety.
@@anthonyboarman3833 I am the same, and I hate it! I tried hypnosis and it seemed to work for a minute, but my stubborn brain kept telling me irrational things like your going to fall and die, even though I am sitting at my freiken desk. I'm a wreck!
8:23 That elevator ride with that flying simulation, is epic, and like a icing on the cake after those views from up there and all the attractions inside!! With no doubt, that's a new must see tourist spot for New York City!!
The sky deck reminds me of the CN Tower in Toronto. It has a glass observation deck and my aunt and I went there in 2003 and she was a little nervous about how high up it was and you could just see sidewalk below under the glass. I thought it was the coolest thing ever! The view from the top of the skyview deck looks incredible! I've never seen a cooler elevator in my life! I have to see that place someday!
@connextro yes? But it doesn't seems to be. Maybe the city should make a new law that prevent to build skyscrapers who would higher than the empire state building, like in Munich in Germany. So it would safe the typical cityscape.
@connextro yeah it is massive and giant, but the new build buildings next to it are high or they are higher than the empire state building. And i dont know how the cityscape will be look like, when they build more new buildings in this area.
I worked on some of the interior spaces and got up to the observation deck on it was in the early phases... Little known fact, the glass failed the stress tests and cracked
Thank you Jon for doing these videos! I actually created a Here Be Barr RUclips folder so I can refer back when I'm ready to hop a bus with my little electric wheelchair and see all the neighborhoods you've highlighted. ❤️😊
Those benches disguised as stairs are amazing. Look like solid stone. Must really be breathtaking to know so much weight is safely put up like that . . . for your feet. Amazing construction and the awe of viewing so much more amazing construction. Time out of mind.
We went there yesterday at sunset. It is awesome. Unfortunately, they’ve closed for now due to the Corona virus, so they’ve only opened for 2 days for now.
As a Long Islander, every time a new attraction opens up in the city, I always get so happy and excited, since I don’t go into the city very often. I think the only “attractions” that I’ve ever seen from the outside are Times Square, and the Empire State Building. As for the inside, I’ve been in Radio City Music Hall but only for Christmas. So the Edge and also One World Observatory are definitely some attractions that I need to see.
I haven't been to NYC in 10 yrs so I can't believe how much the skyline has changed and how small the Empire State building looks like from that observation deck. mind-blowing!
I feel like hudson yards is one of those things that makes it harder for people who grew up there to afford to live there anymore so it pushes them out
A few weeks ago when I went to the hudson yard , the edge wasn't yet open to visitors. It looks AMAZING, I will definitely check it out. I can't imagine the amount of people who will be there during summer , when it's warm😊
once this lockdown lifts i'm going everywhere in the city i have been putting off, edge , broadway guggenheim, sail around the city, u name it cost is no object lol
Hi,im from the UK but currently In NYC untill Sunday and I gotta say your channel has been a blessing! Pizza pizza and yes a bit more pizza has been the way to go so far haha!
@@Avgeek1564 I made it back on the very last flight back to the UK otherwise we would of been there for 30days minimum. Only just made the flight in time as well because we got off the bus at the wrong stop in the middle of nowhere, luckily we managed to flag down a taxi that suddenly appeared! NYC is a must see
I work at the Space Needle in Seattle, and definitely one of the things I enjoy doing when I travel is seeing different observation decks and seeing how they operate compared to what we do. I was in NYC in Feb 2019, and did 1 world trade, Empire, and Top of the Rock. Loved them all for different reasons, but I heard about this place opening "next year", so when I return this will be one of the first things I do! Great Video!
I think this might be my favourite new view spot beating top of the rock and one world observatory..... The high line inside the lift is epic..... Nyc really does have spectacular views 😍😍😍👍 great video
Hey I’m from the UK and we did TOTR today! Don’t think me or husband could have coped with the Edge but it was awesome to see it on the skyline today! Thanks so much for your videos - helped us massively plan our trip! You’re awesome!
I visited this back in January before it was even open. On the other side of the skyscrapers is the vessel it’s a very unique nine story architectural honeycomb. I’ve never been to New York City but I had an amazing trip and I plan on going back.
Melbourne Australia has the EDGE too on the tallest Skyscraper in Australia & with a glass floor & glass wall where you can see the city ahead & underneath your feet, Its been already a tourist attraction for a few years. The view here is spectacular too like in New York, the view here is over Melbourne CBD, Australian Open tennis stadiums (Australian Open Grand Slam), the pacific ocean & surroundings..
I once stood on the glass floor of the Cabo Girao Skywalk in Madeira, 580 meters above the Atlantic. So I can understand the people who are afraid here. The Edge is sheer madness. I wish I was there. It's great how the NYC skyline has changed in recent years. A city that doesn't change and evolve dies. Jon, good video, and everyone knows Central Park, you didn't have to show it.
This video has confirmed my fear of heights. I am sitting here taking a break from the sweats and heart palpitations. I didn't feel this way at the Empire State Building or the Eiffel Tower. Next trip I would like to sip some wine on those stairs while watching the sunset, unfortunately you would need to be in the corner that you said wasn't popular as West is towards NJ. Thanks for posting.
I go to NYC annually. This was the week I was supposed to be there. I couldn’t travel due to the virus. But this will be in my list next year... John your videos make me want to move to NYC- I’ve seen them all and enjoy each one.
Great vlog as always John. Big thumbs up on getting an invite to this. Well deserved as you were my go to when I visited NYC last year. I was there when The Vessel opened and could see the edge from the ground being built. Still enjoy your vlogs as NYC is my favourite world city. ❤️ from the UK buddy.
i loved both the edge and the freedom tower observation deck, i cant decide which is better, the edge might be alittle beter because it is outside and you can do more activities, but the freedom tower offers a one in a million view of the whole region. the edge is double as good at night as well, the city from that height at night is once in a lifetime
While I frequently visit NY, I usually never leave L.I., but last time I've been in the city was 1993! I'd pay $100 no problem!! I miss my home town, last time I was there was at the WTC in 93, Windows on the World! This city will look like the movies soon with everything going up to maybe 200 stories or more someday. They seem to be doing it now! I have never seen so many going this high when I lived there in the 70's! OR while visiting there. I need to get back. Geeze, thanks for posting this amazing video. You are a lucky man!
looks cool, at 36 feet lower than observation deck on the CN tower I can image its fun. Totally would recommend you try both, CN tower has an even larger clear glass floor to stand on and see through
No way, just watching this, make me feel very uncomfortable. I can't even watch my screen. I had to stop it. Seeing this guy being so close from the edge, I just was trying to move back and I was sitting on my chair. So... NO!

Thanks for the tour. I wish I was their. this kinda reminds me of the glass bridge in china.Have you ever been on that?
Hi John. Are any nyc attractions being closed because of Coronavirus? Can you keep us all updated please :)
Broadway just closed. The MET, carnegie hall, sporting events, any thing with capacity over 500.. it's changing daily.
@@HereBeBarr Thanks man
@@seankelly9447 Edge NYC just sent me an email, they are closing as of last night due to the virus. They will be refunding customers who purchased.
This reminds me of back in my home village, I once went to the top of the tallest building in town! Man, the view from the 4th floor there was amaaaazing!
Lmao 😂
Hahaha good1
lol
The view from 70 pinestreet was quite a sight as well back in 1980
4th 😂
The glass should have a sound system that emits a cracking- glass sound when the middle of the glass floor is stepped on.
and cracking glass visual effects too!
@@hawkins9326 They have one like that in China
😂😂
calm down satan
@@LifeisaPhotoOp I saw that on RUclips 😂🤣😂!!!
This guy is so chilled out while leaning on that glass. I’m sweating just watching this!!
ikr
Who else is watching while laying in bed
Yep!
UHHHHMMMMMM......
yup
did anyone ask?
Im watching while sitting
The High Line, the Vessel, and now The Edge... looks like the combo is complete!
Is it worth it? ABSOLUTELY YES! Especially if you want Instagrammable photos!
The legend ! Hahahah, thanks man.
For $36??? Are u kidding m?
Eh...for 36 bucks just to see some buildings and etc I wanted to visit but the price makes zero sense to me this mostly for stupid tourists
@@sexychula19 It depends. If you’re a photographer and want to shoot some photos of the Empire State and the city from above, it is perfect
@@sexychula19 A cocktail in NYC can be $36, what are you from Dayton, Ohio - or even worse, New Jersey?
I can already imagine the all instagrammers taking pics there.
Haha
Yeah, obviously.
Right
All the poor instagrammers who can't afford to live there.
It's so bad..... It's making me want to throw up just thinking about the people waiting in line at the hudson yards mall....
that tilted glass and the space between each one alone gives me anxiety even I'm sitting on my couch
Yeah my anxiety riddled brain would not process all this visual information well. I always hated 3d movies. I envy people who can do all these activities without anxiety.
@@anthonyboarman3833 I am the same, and I hate it! I tried hypnosis and it seemed to work for a minute, but my stubborn brain kept telling me irrational things like your going to fall and die, even though I am sitting at my freiken desk. I'm a wreck!
I wish I didn’t have heights phobia . Just watching this sends me into panic mode. This is beautiful
"Acrophobia"
Imagine the view at night
Hell yeah
The view at might is not as good as during the day. For some weird reason at night it looks like a shinny poster. Day time is most mesmerizing.
8:23 That elevator ride with that flying simulation, is epic, and like a icing on the cake after those views from up there and all the attractions inside!! With no doubt, that's a new must see tourist spot for New York City!!

4:55 The once giant empire state building looks now smaller in the new skyline of Manhattan

@connextro yeah it is massive and giant, but the new build buildings next to it are high or they are higher than the empire state building. And i dont know how the cityscape will be look like, when they build more new buildings in this area.
I miss going to New York City on my days off just to hang out. I can't wait for things to get back to normal.
I know you’re 100% safe, but that whole observation deck makes me nervous just watching you being on it, especially when you leaned on that glass.
I worked on some of the interior spaces and got up to the observation deck on it was in the early phases...
Little known fact, the glass failed the stress tests and cracked
Daniel Jimenez that’s scary af!! Were they able to fix it?
@@carloscastVeVo well, ofc that's how they opened it
“100% safe” That’s what ppl at the WTC thought 😐😑
Nothing man made is 100% safe
The edge, sunset, wine... Best date!!
Thank you Jon for doing these videos! I actually created a Here Be Barr RUclips folder so I can refer back when I'm ready to hop a bus with my little electric wheelchair and see all the neighborhoods you've highlighted. ❤️😊
That timelapse with a gorgeous view at the end... 😍
Thanks, will you visit?
@@HereBeBarr Mhmm...too expensive for a full time budget traveller who chose RUclips as a job 😅

Agreed!
This new attraction has been added to the New York Sightseeing pass
We went there yesterday at sunset. It is awesome.
Unfortunately, they’ve closed for now due to the Corona virus, so they’ve only opened for 2 days for now.
Did you have to pay?
@@ganamohamed1541 You have to buy tickets 🎫
Eww
This really makes me miss the WTC observation deck. That was special.

Tia Marrow imho top of the rock is way better than the view from the Empire State Building. You should check this out first :)
I want to go to Long Island sooo bad #Copiague #AlbertsPizza 💜😍
I got my son tickets for Saturday...he's going with his wife. I'm afraid of heights and just got dizzy watching the video! Fantastic views!
spoly 813 CORONAVIRUS
Go to Dubai or Shanghai. This is not that innovative to be pride about. Old city. With poor infra
I think it is cancelled for today
Right! Scary
I haven't been to NYC in 10 yrs so I can't believe how much the skyline has changed and how small the Empire State building looks like from that observation deck. mind-blowing!
Damn it, I thought I saw all of NYC. They keep building cool stuff and I can't keep up. I have no choice but head back there again.
New York is always full of surprises! must go back soon.
We went on the Edge yesterday,the outdoor deck observation is awesome.
It’s worth watching from the deck and I like the elevator ride too.
Is it worth it?
Excellent job! I really enjoyed the premiere! Thanks for answering my questions! I really appreciate that!
No problem
Bro, that looks like a dope experience. Really becoming a fan of the channel. Keep up the good work.
The VIEW!!!! Awesome Sauce
Gracias Senor
I feel like hudson yards is one of those things that makes it harder for people who grew up there to afford to live there anymore so it pushes them out
NathanDrake no one grew up on a rail yard
It was awesome seeing you at the opening! Let's make a video together soon :)
Yes, for sure. We'll come up with something really good !
Sarah Funk is the best. What a nice surprise.
Sarah Funk there’s an offer you don’t get everyday
A few weeks ago when I went to the hudson yard , the edge wasn't yet open to visitors.
It looks AMAZING, I will definitely check it out.
I can't imagine the amount of people who will be there during summer , when it's warm😊
No matter how many videos or pictures I see, the shear size and dense population of New York City just blows my mind. It's overwhelming.
once this lockdown lifts i'm going everywhere in the city i have been putting off, edge , broadway guggenheim, sail around the city, u name it cost is no object lol
I’ll go there after the lockdown ends
Yeah me too
That's a BIG NOPE from me lol! Great video man
Thanks for stopping by Shaun 🤣🤣 it’s not for everyone
I'm going Tomorrow and scared as hell🤣🤣
I was in NYC last week, and after watching your videos I was saved from several scams! I also ate at some really good restaurants you recommended!
Hi,im from the UK but currently In NYC untill Sunday and I gotta say your channel has been a blessing! Pizza pizza and yes a bit more pizza has been the way to go so far haha!
The Azores season is something else..
And im a local so imagine..
They're amazing explores =)

@@Avgeek1564 yeah it was actually a blessing that it was beginning to get empty lol. Definitely going again now that I may not get quite so lost!

I left NYC in 1989, my how things change alot.
Carolyn Howell did u ever go up the twin towers
Fantastic vid! Can't wait to check it out, but for me that glass floor is the stuff of nightmares. I'd steer clear.
Hahahah. I didn't mind it so much, but can see the fear for some.
How long can you stay up there for ?
@@garyatkinson5699 Seems like no limit, I know a guy who stayed 4 hours.
@@HereBeBarr why do they have a time slot window on ticket office?
Seems strange if everyone stayed there you wouldn't be able to see anything....

Awesome! John I was waiting for your review, now I'm convinced, thank you!
Makes me nervous just watching... pretty cool that you got to be there day 1
Went in the nick of time! 😊 They just closed the Edge due to the virus. I had bought tickets a month ago and was super excited. ❤ loved the video!
Loving the cinematic shots here - great production value
WOW, that looks AMAZING. Worth it....no question.
I visited this back in January before it was even open. On the other side of the skyscrapers is the vessel it’s a very unique nine story architectural honeycomb. I’ve never been to New York City but I had an amazing trip and I plan on going back.
James Waugh how did you have access to it before it was open?
I FEEL SICK YET I KEEP WATCHING
The view is incredible from here and really like how you are outside for it
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 thanks Greg
Just did it Monday with my sixteen year old Daughter. I have one word to describe it AWESOME
My fear of heights is so bad that I couldn’t watch this
I could not finish watching either
Oh my God my anxiety is WAY UP THERE!!! I'm having a hard time breathing
When Bono has an observation deck named after him, I might see them both. Jon, wouldn’t you, too??? 😎
😆😆
Melbourne Australia has the EDGE too on the tallest Skyscraper in Australia & with a glass floor & glass wall where you can see the city ahead & underneath your feet, Its been already a tourist attraction for a few years.

Go back in the summer when it's beautiful out and clear
At the summer most of the day humid,you don’t see nothing.
Nope nope nope. This video already gives me enough anxiety. I can’t imagine myself being there in person.

I saw a dream with a building like this. Lo and behold, this actually exists! Can't wait to visit.
I have to go back to watch that myself! Spectacular.
I loved it!! The view is amazing!! (update: I haven't gotten my cat lol)
🙃
Imagine having to wash those glass windows.... But from the outside :-((...
Three words come to mind.
No ****ing Way!!
In one morning all three of this, so funny
. You are lucky if you can do the edge in one morning with the lines and waiting for a good spot picture.
Really cool place to visit, if I ever can.. I will go at sunset. Thanks for the good suggestion and video. 👍
Went there on Thursday was amazing at night
1:53, the beautiful and entertaining Sarah Funk.

Love from Brazil.
Awwwww yes cause alcohol and heights makes for a great combination 🙄😂
Why every time NJ comes up people always have something negative to say. Just mention it and keep it moving.
Tearing up from this view 03:39 - Can't wait to visit NYC❤️ again when this shit storm has blown over.
Closed at the moment. You are awesome for giving us a glimpse of this awesome ledge and view

Hector Jose Guerrero man I miss nyc
Excellent video. I will definitely put that on my to do list for the next time in NYC.
I passed out watching this video well laying on my bed! Great video 👌🏿
Since when they invite homeless people for grand opening to places like that?
ur proflie pic scared the sh** out of me
Denied by virus, next time...
Also I am looking forward if you're going to check out Peak. If it's worth it, this will be the best possible way to end a wonderful trip to the US.
looks cool, at 36 feet lower than observation deck on the CN tower I can image its fun. Totally would recommend you try both, CN tower has an even larger clear glass floor to stand on and see through
No way, just watching this, make me feel very uncomfortable. I can't even watch my screen. I had to stop it. Seeing this guy being so close from the edge, I just was trying to move back and I was sitting on my chair.
So... NO!
He talks weird
Estaba esperando tu vídeo!!!! Excelente producción en tan poco tiempo. Les ganaste a todos! Saludos!!!
