Chirag P. • January 8, 2019It’s a beautiful building on the outside. It’s definitely worth it to stop by and taking a few photos.
gyeviahm r. • October 7, 2010visit the open air cage next to the municipal building for breakfast and lunch. Open from 6 am to 6 pm.
Audrey O. • August 7, 2014Has an inside cafe past the elevators. Nice & quiet and the staff is friendly.
Alx L. • April 16, 2013A Nice place to visit at night. You can also have a drink on the 230th 5th avenue roof top to have a great view on this building!
Norman E. • February 22, 2011If you'd really like to see what the view looks like from the top, make an appt with one of the dentists on the top floors. Get a cleaning and enjoy the view.

Nate F. • July 30, 2021allegedly the tallest blank wall in the world (those are ventilation shafts not windows)
Erin R. • July 13, 2016Spacious. Elevator banks are wonderful! Makes the trip to the third floor from the top at the beginning and end of the day much quicker.
Chelsea S. • May 30, 2013This building's location is absolutely fantastic if you spend a lot of time in lower Manhattan. Also, the doormen are always lovely - say hi when you walk by! :)
M B. • April 20, 2012A Beautiful Architectural building you should see when visiting NYC... Very Artsy! :)
SCO • May 18, 2010Check out the really neat old marble clock, it's high on the wall right before you walk up the stairs. So pretty.
Sherman S. • July 15, 2011If the main elevators are packed go up the freight elevator in the am but bring your key card
Sam M. • May 16, 2013Come 20 minutes early at least — security checks can be long. Thursdays seems dedicated to newly minted citizens. Shorter lines, folks sometimes dress up for the occasion, somewhat emotional.
The Official Khalis • August 25, 2011The Chambers Street J/Z platform under the municipal building is historic in that it once stood as the BMTs south terminal. LIRR excursion trains also departed from this station via the Broadway BMT.
Doris C. • July 21, 2023The food is really good. Especially the place Seeds and Weeds! Also, keep your eyes open for anything out of the ordinary! 😉😉😉😉 Overall, the food is delicious! Yum yum! Enjoy!!!
Giulia P. • June 23, 2015Great for large events. The exposed brick, high ceilings, and chandeliers create an inspiring ambiance and the open area in the back is great for chatting
Brittany K. • April 11, 2014I love seeing the BFA exhibitions each week and the work the students are creating, and the receptions always have great wine and cheese options! What's not to love?
IWalked Audio Tours • May 29, 20133/25/11--146 people died during Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. Rescue efforts failed when firefighter ladders could only reach to 6th floor (2 stories short of factory). Full history via<LINK>
ᴡ O. • October 18, 2011Come early in the day or late at night to get the most peace and the most space to work in
