City Hall and City Hall Park

There's a enormous building with a big, gold figurine right next to City Hall Park.

Many people consider that to be City Hall. On the contrary: that's the Municipal Building. The real City Hall is a much smaller and older building in its shadow. And don't forget the New York expression: you can't fight City Hall. Either one of 'em.

While you're here, take a walk through City Hall Park in downtown Manhattan. It's just a short walk from the World Trade Center site, and it's right next to the Brooklyn Bridge and the thrilling pedestrian walkway across to Brooklyn.
