The 52nd floor of a high rise in New York City’s Hudson Yards development offers sweeping panoramic views of Manhattan, the outer boroughs, New Jersey, and beyond.

After breaking EPL records for goals, wins, and points, Manchester City claimed its third championship in the last seven seasons and brought the trophy along for its U.S. tour during International Champions Cup play last month.
