The view from the Empire State Building in New York is to die for! The open-air observation deck provides 360-degree views of New York, Brooklyn, Queens, and beyond. But New York City will soon get a new observation deck that will take your breath away. An enclosed all-glass elevator will lift you 1,210 feet above the city making your journey to the top an extraordinary one.

The Elevator Will Take You To The Highest Vantage Point Of NYC
The glass elevator launching just off of Grand Central Terminal’s main concourse will give visitors an immersive perspective of the city. All we can say is, you have to really have to experience to understand the feeling. The elevator takes you to the highest outdoor vantage point in NYC and the views are beyond breathtaking.

Take In View From Glass Skyboxes Protruding Out Of Building
But the elevator is not the only glass-enclosed space where you can take views from. Once you reach the top, you can step onto Levitation, glass skyboxes that protrude out from the building hovering 1,063 feet in the air. Imagine walking on glass high up in the air with a clear view of Madison Avenue below.

If you getting in an all-glass elevator is off your limits, there is still a way for you to experience the stunning city views from the building’s outdoor.
