Overview
- Guided groups of six will be led by the Department of Citywide Administrative Services, departing from the NYC CityStore at 1 Centre Street.
- An online reservation portal will launch ahead of the opening to manage timed entry for the free visits.
- Renovation work includes repainting the cupola, repairing the rotunda, installing glass safety barriers, and adding overhead netting.
- The 36th-floor cupola provides 360-degree views spanning the Brooklyn Bridge and East River to Midtown and, on clear days, toward the Atlantic.
- Officials frame the reopening as honoring Mayor David N. Dinkins’s legacy and restoring a long-intended public vantage point in the 1914 Beaux-Arts landmark designed by McKim, Mead & White.
