Well the universe is finite (and expanding) but what exists outside the bounds of our spatial dimensions are currently unknowable

Yep! The observable universe has an edge we're fairly confident about. Though while it is absolutely "expanding", unfortunately, space around it is also expanding, so the universe is getting bigger in size, but we don't think we're gaining any new mass or exciting celestial objects. Everything's just getting further away..

I wanna grab on the edge of the universe like a tablecloth and ride it into the (I must emphasize, deeply metaphorical) sunset

What's the edge of the universe like?
