Deets: Ascend to the cupola of the David N. Dinkins Municipal Building for a whole new perspective of New York City. Trace the city's skyline from the Empire State Building to the harbor, with the East River bridges stretching before you in clear view – it's a full 360° sweep. Reservations are free. Parties are limited to groups of five.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) Commissioner Yume Kitasei announced that the tallest tower of the David N. Dinkins Municipal Building will be opened for entirely free public tours for the first time this summer, making this unique perspective on the city available in time for the World Cup. Beginning in June, the public will be able to book tours led by DCAS staff through an online portal, with groups of six people departing from the NYC CityStore in the base of the building.

The David N. Dinkins Municipal Building is home to over 2,000 employees, including the offices of the Comptroller, the Public Advocate, and the Manhattan Borough President, as well as a variety of city agencies. Designed by architecture firm McKim, Mead and White and constructed between 1909 and 1914, the building was made a New York City landmark in 1966, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, and renamed after Mayor David N. Dinkins in 2015.

Hint for the Average Socialite: Admission is FREE!
