Subjecting yourself to voluntary vertigo has never been easier.
Midtown development One Vanderbilt will offer thrill-seekers a fresh way to become fearful of New York: an all-glass enclosed elevator on the exterior of the building. The see-through human dumbwaiter, known as Ascent, will take riders around 1,210 ft over the city, where they could gaze down upon Madison Avenue.
For those looking for a non-moving but nevertheless gravity-defying encounter, the skyscraper — place to be fundamental Midtown’s tallest ever — will offer Levitation, consisting of”fully transparent glass sky boxes” that jut out of the building and give people the experience of dangling 1,063 feet over Manhattan.
People looking for a more subdued look in the perspective can retire into the outside patio bar, or even the”highest urban outside alpine meadow on earth.” All attractions are all slated to open to the public in late October.
Summit One Vanderbilt (as the development is speaking to the rooftop attractions) will have a immersive art experience designed by Kenzo Digital and culinary supplies from Danny Meyer’s Union Square Events.
Superchef Daniel Boulud are also launching an 11,000-square-foot restaurant, Le Pavillon, on the second floor of this building.
“We have created a destination that provides an interactive experience that will be remembered for a lifetime together with the best, falsified perspectives in all New York City,” said SL Green CEO Marc Holliday in a statement. “It’s a unique, thrilling location that New Yorkers and travelers from throughout the country and the world may wish to visit time and time again.”
