Who comes here? Anyone looking for a standout experience, especially those who like to be the first to try out the city’s newest offerings. The most enjoyable part might be the outdoor terrace, where you can sip a Sunset Margarita-made with tequila, pear liqueur, and pomegranate juice-and feel like you’re at the city’s best rooftop bar.
Yes, everyone has their phone out-just go with it, and enjoy the fact that you’re all here to see the city from this new vantage point.
But once you get used to it, there’s truly so much to see, from rare up-close views of the Chrysler Building to the Empire State Building and Central Park. What’s it like being there? It’s a little overwhelming when you first step onto the 91st floor, as your eyes adjust to the floor-to-ceiling windows, the mirrors, and the height. Inside, a Snøhetta-designed Nordic-inspired space serves food and drinks from Danny Meyer’s Union Square Events, including pastrami-stuffed pretzels and ricotta toast there’s also a wrap-around outdoor terrace where you can take it all in. Additionally, there are rotating art installations from Kenzo Digital, as well as two special features: Levitation, a glass skybox that lets you feel as if you’re floating one-thousand feet above Madison Avenue and Ascent, a separate glass elevator that brings visitors up even higher to gaze over downtown Manhattan. There, you’re greeted by a massive, mirrored room that looks out over New York City. It starts with the elevator, a light- and sound-filled ride that whooshes visitors up to the 91st floor.

There’s no shortage of jaw-dropping views found throughout the city, but the team behind the Summit has assembled a bunch of big names to bring together a full experience, one where you could easily spend a few hours. While it literally casts a shadow over one of New York’s most iconic destinations, it also provides one of the best new views of the city-a rarity in a place as photographed as Manhattan. Please note that the elevators are an extra attraction that you need separate tickets for.Tell me: What’s this place all about?

Once the elevators have reached the top, they will stay there for a few minutes so that you can enjoy the beautiful view. ‘Ascent’, two glass elevators positioned on the outside of the building bring you to the top of the One Vanderbilt building. If you’re not afraid of heights, you can step into the overhangs for some great views of Madison Avenue. In addition, SUMMIT One Vanderbilt has two glass-floored overhangs called ‘Levitation’. The space offers views over Central Park and Uptown Manhattan. It’s the perfect place for a special selfie. It is strongly recommended to not wear skirts or dresses when going to the Summit, as the floor and ceiling are made out of mirrors.Īs you walk through, you’ll enter ‘Affinity’ where hundreds of silver balloons float around. Above this room, you can walk over the balustrade where you can look into the large round mirrors. Upon entering, you will enter the ‘Transcendence’: a space with high ceilings, filled with mirrors to create a surreal experience and where you can take the most impressive Instagram photos. All in all, a visit to Summit will immerse you in the best views of New York in several ways. Summit is not your ordinary observation deck, there are also four experiences created by Kenzo Digital that stimulate your senses.
