This morning, surprise: New York woke up under a thick white coat. Poorly equipped to cope with these wintry conditions, we improvise with our warmest clothes before setting off on the fifth and final day of our city trip. <\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n

The first stop of the day is just a 20-minute walk from our hotel. Yet, with the snow covering the streets and the icy wind biting our faces, each step seems to take forever. Wrapped up as best we can, we push forward, motivating ourselves: the idea of discovering the Summit One Vanderbilt<\/strong>, snug in the warmth, and admiring a breathtaking view of a snow-covered New York pushes us to brave this polar cold. <\/p>\n\n

Once there, the effort is amply rewarded. The Summit One Vanderbilt sits atop the One Vanderbilt<\/g> skyscraper, due to open in September 2020. This 427-metre<\/g> giant, mainly occupied by offices, is the fourth-tallest building in New York, just behind One World Trade Center. The observatory, located 335 meters above sea level and spread over four floors, offers a unique visual and sensory experience. <\/p>\n\n

From its huge picture windows and suspended glass platforms, the view of Manhattan is simply breathtaking. And for photography enthusiasts, it’s a rare opportunity to capture the Chrysler Building from an unusual angle, almost within reach thanks to the skyscraper’s proximity. <\/p>\n\n

But Summit isn’t limited to panoramic views. Theimmersive Air installation<\/strong>, designed by artist Kenzo Digital, transforms the space into a dreamlike work of art. Mirrors on the floor, walls and ceiling reflect the immensity of New York, giving the impression of floating in an infinite space. The more adventurous can venture onto Levitation<\/strong>, a glass platform suspended in the void<\/strong>, or opt for the all-glass exterior elevator, offering a vertiginous climb with a breathtaking view. <\/p>\n\n
