Just east of TriBeCa (Triangle below Canal) is Manhattan's Civic Center. The mayor hangs his hat in an office in the main government building, City Hall (tours are available free of charge on weekdays). It is adorned with classical columns and a recently restored, copper-sheathed cupola that is crowned by a statue of Justice. 

In fact, many visitors will probably be familiar with Foley Square, a name that's become synonymous with the New York court system; it's where many of the attorneys on the TV series Law and Order often prepare for courtroom prosecuting and posturing. Down the street is the Municipal Building, where you actually get married when you have a civil ceremony "at City Hall." Just south of the building, a pedestrian walkway leads to the Brooklyn Bridge and its world-class view. And if you're looking for a great place for one-stop electronics, photography, and music shopping, don't miss J&R Music and Computer World.

NYC & Company operates a visitor information kiosk that's open seven days a week at the southern tip of City Hall Park on the Broadway sidewalk at Park Row. As the visitor gateway to Lower Manhattan, the City Hall Park Visitor Information Kiosk promotes downtown tourism with a multilingual staff distributing detailed visitor information including directions, attraction brochures, upcoming event listings, maps and more.
