New York City Opens Historic Municipal Building Rooftop for Public Tours

The David N. Dinkins Manhattan Municipal Building in New York City is set to open its 36th-floor cupola to the public for the first time in nearly a century. Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the Department of Citywide Administrative Services have announced the 'Centre 360' experience, a free rooftop tour offering panoramic views of the city. The building, a Beaux-Arts architectural landmark, was originally designed to be accessible to the public when it opened in 1914, but the cupola has remained off-limits until now. Tours will begin on June 11, with reservations available on the first day of each month. The building, designed by William M. Kendall, features a classical exterior and Roman architectural elements, and was the first in New York to incorporate a subway station at its base.
