An overview of the first floor of the Summit experience
Let's start at tour at the beginning; after ascending from a lobby connected to Grand Central Station, you enter this hallway, which has a cool pulsating light show
Then you enter the main space on the first floor, which is two stories high and has mirrors everywhere
Lots of selfie possibilities!
Influencers everywhere!
The walls and floors all reflect amazing views of the city
Looking through the glass downtown
There are views in all four directions; this is looking east down 42nd Street
As you leave the main roof, you enter a lobby with views to the north, which will eventually have a Yayoi Kusama installation.
Up one floor are the balconies overlooking the main room.

There are two cutaway tubes connecting the first two floors

You exit through a gift shop, and then go down an elevator through another gift shop to the exit.
