This live stream looks out from an observation deck high above Midtown Manhattan, near Grand Central Terminal. It is a good way to check how the city looks from above before heading out, or to follow the skyline as the light changes over the day.

About the area

Summit One Vanderbilt sits in the heart of Midtown, a short walk from Grand Central Terminal and Bryant Park. New York City is built on a dense grid of streets, with Manhattan as its core, and the East River and Hudson River frame the island. The city is known for its towers, its museums and its constant street life, and from a height of this kind the scale of the grid becomes easy to read.

What to watch on the stream

The camera is a mountain-category view from a tall building, so the picture is mostly about height, sky and the skyline. Clear days show the most detail, while haze and low cloud can soften the buildings in the distance. Early mornings and the hour around sunset often bring the best light on the glass towers, and the lights of the city become more prominent after dark. Weather strongly affects what you can see, so check the conditions shown on this page before you watch.

Practical notes

New York has a humid subtropical climate, with hot, humid summers and cold winters that can bring snow. Spring and autumn are generally the most comfortable seasons for walking around the city. Midtown is easy to reach by subway, and Times Square and the cameras nearby in the area are within walking distance of this viewpoint, which makes it simple to combine a visit with a look around the neighbourhood.
