Peak is a modern American restaurant located above the Hudson Yards “Edge” terrace, the largest outdoor viewing platform in the Western Hemisphere. The Summit Restaurant on the 101st floor of 30 Hudson Yards offers sweeping views of New York City from its entire floor. The restaurant features a dining area, a cocktail bar, a private room, and an event space. The goal of the project is to create a warm, cheerful, and inviting dining environment, in line with the unique structure and design of the tower where the restaurant is located, to provide customers with an unparalleled dining experience.

Visitors can reach the restaurant through the Peak Lounge, a direct entrance on the 5th floor that also serves as a lounge bar. In keeping with the clean lines and minimalist design philosophy of the Edge, this lounge has a luxurious simplicity and provides an elevated bar experience with warm materials and soft lighting.
Inside the lounge, guests are greeted with a smoked oak-wrapped ceiling and walls that are counterbalanced by soft, mirrored polished champagne metal details. A stone slab floor with a sinuous, curving metal inlay directs traffic to the elevators, while the enclosed bar and lounge area is embellished with a circular stone and warm metal.

On emerging from the elevators on the 101st floor, guests are greeted by a shared interstitial space between the restaurant, events space, and the Edge , which features warm tones with smoked oak walls, wainscoting in stone, warm metals, and an elegant finned wall. The L-shaped Peak restaurant has four main areas: a lounge seating area next to the bar, where visitors can look out on the panoramic view; the bar; the main dining room; and a private dining room with two small stages for live music.
As guests enter the restaurant, they are welcomed by the lounge area with an inset area rug on the right and a U-shaped with a silver sky marble top accompanied with warm hued metal fins and patinated infill panels again commissioned from Based Upon. The island back bar incorporates a multi-level liquor riser and polished warm metal sculpture also by Based Upon.

In the dining area, tabletops alternate bleached birds eye maple with silver sky marble, paired with chairs in either suede or grey fabric. Retractable drapery also helps soften the space and reduce glare. Flexible seating along the window line allows guests to get close to the views that dominate the space.

Detached from the main restaurant, the event space serves multiple functions with dark tessellated marble floors throughout that incorporate metal inlay that steers visitors to the incredible New York City view. The vaulted ceiling unites the space and is covered in an acoustic fabric with metal trim. The southern wall and columns along the façade are clad in smoked oak with metal beading and a dedicated bar with a saw-tooth-patterned marble bar die serves the event space.
