• Pickup: Move slightly away from the busiest curb zones for faster matches.
• Traffic: Event days at the Javits Center can jam 11th Ave. Add 15–20 minutes.

Parking

Paid garages operate around Hudson Yards with variable pricing. Spaces are limited at peak times; allow extra time to park and walk in.

Inside The Shops

• Once inside, follow prominent Edge signage from the mall concourse.
• Expect a short indoor path and then a brisk elevator ride to the observation levels.
• Staff are posted along the route — feel free to ask for the quickest way.

Accessibility Route

The complex features elevators and step-free routes from the street through The Shops to the Edge lobby. If you need assistance, ask a staff member for the nearest lift and the least-crowded path.

Common Mistakes

• Arriving too close to sunset and rushing the entry flow.
• Confusing the Public Square entrance with office lobbies — follow Edge signs.
• Underestimating the long blocks on the west side; budget a few extra minutes.

Bottom Line

The 7 train is reliable and direct, the High Line approach is stunning, and rideshare is easiest if you’re short on time.
