New York City Hall

Completed in 1812, the third New York City Hall surrounded by a restored park occupies a unique place in United States history. The spacious and elegant interior of the City Hall has seen many changes in its 200 years, above all when office space was created for the increasing number of workers it houses. The public reception hall, known as the Blue Room and where the Mayor of New York holds press conferences, has also been carefully renovated and extended, evident in the artistry in the decorated wood and marble chimney, as well as in the high quality furniture. The portraits of Thomas Jefferson and Mayor DeWitt Clinton, among other notable people, enhance the room's grace. Group visits are available for a minimum of 12 people and should be reserved in advance by calling (212) 788-6870.

In the seventeenth century, when the Federal Hall of Wall Street served as the New York City and state government headquarters, the original City Hall park was named the Grounds. The carrying out of various tasks, such as the internment of slaves and the poor, was done there. A public reading of the recently signed Declaration of Independence on July 9th 1776 at the Grounds (also known as the Fields) lead a mafia style procession through Broadway to Bowling Green, where a statue of he English King George III was hacked to pieces. After the War of Independence, the landscape of the park has improved, and in 1803 the first stone of the new City Hall was laid.

A painstaking restauration of City Hall Park, completed in 1999, restored its splendid nineteenth-century characteristics; particularly the Victory Fountain and surrounding bronze gas lamps, which reflect the great history of the United States' capital city. The flourishing of trees, flower beds and new gardens reduce the park's overall visibility, but give the area a more impressive and refined character. However, the new twenty-first-century security features including new perimeter fences and ominous anti-terrorist devices have been highly criticised for blocking pedestrian and protestor access, the complaints bitterly citing the traditional idea that 'you can't fight against the government. '

High on the City Hall's cupola is a statue of Justice, the third of its kind commissioned for this building. The building, exhibiting an exquisite sculptural contrast with the imposing municipal building on Park Row which features a statue of golden bread adorned with Civil Virtue, shines in the sun. The City Hall could well be eclipsed by the enormous municipal building, though considering the high status of the mayor above the city's bureaucrats, the contrary has always been the case.

A visit to the City Hall would be incomplete without also taking a look at the refurbished Tweed Palace of Justice in the street behind it, Chambers Street. Tweed Courthouse now houses the Ministry of Education, and was the most expensive public building ever to be constructed in American history, The extra costs in the nineteenth century were extraordinary.

I started planning and as usual every thing is from the Internet Booked at the hotel Verve in the city of Long Island, New York State.

I chose this hotel because of the positive opinions of the guests. Also because of its proximity to the SUB train station you can easily go to Times Square in the center of New York.

The room has two beds at a price of 245 dollars a night.

We left San Antonio on Delta lines on a two-and-a-half-hour trip to Detroit and then a trip from Detroit to New York for about two hours.

The cost of the ticket was 345 dollars per person.

We arrived at New York Newark Airport near Morocco and of course were fasting and we took the train to Long Island. We walked from the station to the hotel and of course the directions I used to throw it from the Internet from Joggle Map website and also the map Coast website.

We had breakfast and water and went to Steinway Steinway Arab Street, which abounds in Arab restaurants, our dinner and our children, and then we went back to the hotel because we had a trip to New York neighborhoods and streets. .

Some may be wondering how you know about the street and the Zain Restaurant and about and how it got there.
