City Hall Park is the public park surrounding NYC Hall. It's the area that was once considered the town commons in our early history. It’s located in the Civic Center of Manhattan.
From the park there are loads of sketching choices. You can sketch the scenic fountain or City Hall. The park is surrounded by skyscrapers and city office buildings. Across the street to the west is the Woolworth Building - a classic, and one block to the east is the Brooklyn Bridge. We’re going to spend the morning in the park and will have lunch there together.
In the afternoon Law and Order fans will be delighted that we’ll be sketching the iconic New York County Supreme Court, a two block walk north from the park.
