This is a rooftop party in the most literal sense: Marquee Skydeck sits atop Edge at Hudson Yards, roughly 100 stories up, so the dance floor is ringed by an unbroken skyline instead of walls. Francis Mercier, the Haitian-American DJ behind a run of Afro-house releases, headlines for the launch of his Lakay album, layering global percussion and melodic house into a late set. If you want the highest, most cinematic night out of the weekend, book this rooftop party early.
What to expect
Expect a sleek, upscale club environment with floor-to-ceiling glass, bottle-service tables and DJ-driven Afro-house rather than Top 40. The vibe is dress-to-impress and photo-forward, with the skyline doing most of the decorating. Arrive prepared for airport-style security and elevator access up to the deck.
Good to know
- Take the 7 train to 34th Street–Hudson Yards, steps from the Edge entrance
- There is a dress code; smart, elevated attire is expected and sneakers may be turned away
- Bring a valid ID, as entry is 21-plus and checked at the door
- Tables and bottle service book up fast for skyline-facing spots, so reserve ahead if that matters to you
- It can get windy and cool at that height even in summer, so plan your outfit accordingly
- Best for house-music fans and anyone chasing the highest rooftop night in the city
