MORE ABOUT THIS TOUR
New York is a very vibrant and busy city and it takes a lot of people to keep the big city functioning. The world famous New York police force, justice workers, state federal operators and prison and detention officers keep our big city safe. This walk will take you among some of the departments where these establishments operate from and see how they go about their daily lives keeping New York running smoothly and safely.
In our first encounter we begin at the City Hall before ambling down to the Tweed Courthouse. It is one of the more grandiose civic monuments in New York and has been in regular operation since 1864. The courthouse was built as soon as the City Hall building had been completed. Along here and into Chambers Street we come across one of the earliest skyscrapers in America. It may only be 17 floors high but the Former Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank Building was one of the tallest buildings in the USA when it was completed just over a hundred years ago.
Onwards from here we encounter the New York Surrogate's Court, the Police Plaza and the headquarters of the New York Police. There are several different police units and separate bureaus that operate to keep New York safe and also a moving infrastructure. You will also see the Federal Metropolitan Correction Center in Lower Manhattan. Here remand prisoners and people awaiting trial are held here. It houses both men and women.
Next you will walk on to St. Andrew's Church and the US Court of International Trade. The next interesting stop will be the Jacob K. Javits Federal Building. This huge 41-storey building is home to the Homeland Security and also Immigration Control. Many immigrants wanting visas will be seen here daily waiting in line to apply for visas and working licenses. You will next encounter the sombre African Burial Ground, where more than 600 skeletons of freed and captive slaves had been buried. Their remains were only unearthed two decades ago.
The famous United States Courthouse and Supreme Court are the next landmarks we encounter before discovering the Federal Office Building and the former A. T. Stewart Marble Palace building, later to become what is now the Sun Building. Our walk through some of New York federal establishments ends with a view at the elegant Broadway Chambers.
⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Walking NYC : New York City Hall Area & Civic Center, Manhattan
Google Maps Route:
A walk through New York's Civic Center, walking through streets such as Centre Street, Broadway, Chambers Street, Duane Street, Worth Street, and Foley Square.
From Wikipedia:
The Civic Center is the area of lower Manhattan, New York City, that encompasses New York City Hall, One Police Plaza, the courthouses in Foley Square, and the surrounding area. The district is bound on the west by Tribeca at Broadway, on the north by Chinatown at Worth Street or Bayard Street, on the east by the East River and the Brooklyn Bridge at South Street, and on the south by the Financial District at Ann Street.
Although government-related activities are predominant, other pursuits also occur within the district, including entertainment, industrial activity, residential dwellings, and warehousing. For example, there are Chinese restaurants near Civic Center's border with Chinatown, in addition to some museums and some residential buildings in the Civic Center area. The area is roughly 10 blocks long and 5 blocks wide, but is far less dense than most of Manhattan, where the average number of residents for an area that size is 35,000; the Civic Center has approximately 20,000 residents.
The Jacob K. Javits Federal Building is located in the area. It includes the Federal Bureau of Investigation New York field office.
Non-government buildings include the 387 feet (118 m) 15 Park Row, an office and residential building which was the city's highest from 1899 to 1908. 150 Nassau Street, a 21-story granite building, was once a publisher's building, as were many in the area, but is now a residential building, as is 38 Park Row. The 76-story 8 Spruce Street is among the world's tallest residential buildings. Southbridge Towers, once Mitchell-Lama affordable housing, is now market-rate housing.

(26 Apr 2018) Lawyers for President Donald Trump and his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, returned to court Thursday to continue efforts to limit investigators' access to records the FBI seized from Cohen.
A New York judge will preside over a noon conference to better define how to process electronic files and communications seized from Cohen's home and office April 9 as part of a probe of his personal business dealings.
U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood is overseeing a process to determine which materials are covered by attorney-client privilege.
Trump's lawyer, Joanna Hendon, said the president is willing to get involved personally in the review.

SUMMARY
=======
Manhattan (), often referred to locally as the City, is the most densely populated borough of New York City, its economic and administrative center, its cultural identifier, and its historical birthplace. The borough is coextensive with New York County, one of the original counties of the U.S. state of New York. The borough consists mostly of Manhattan Island, bounded by the Hudson, East, and Harlem rivers; several small adjacent islands; and Marble Hill, a small neighborhood now on the U.S. mainland, physically connected to the Bronx and separated from the rest of Manhattan by the Harlem River. Manhattan Island is divided into three informally bounded components, each aligned with its long axis: Lower, Midtown, and Upper Manhattan.
Manhattan is often described as the cultural, financial, media, and entertainment capital of the world, and the borough hosts the United Nations Headquarters. Anchored by Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City has been called both the most economically powerful city and the leading financial center of the world, and Manhattan is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization: the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Many multinational media conglomerates are based in Manhattan, and the borough has been the setting for numerous books, films, and television shows. Manhattan is historically documented to have been purchased by Dutch colonists from Native Americans in 1626 for 60 guilders, which equals roughly US$1050 in current terms. Manhattan real estate has since become among the most expensive in the world, with the value of Manhattan Island, including real estate, estimated to exceed US$3 trillion in 2013; median residential property sale prices in Manhattan approximated US$1,600 per square foot ($17,000/m2) as of 2018, with Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan commanding the highest retail rents in the world, at US$3,000 per square foot ($32,000/m2) in 2017.Manhattan traces its origins to a trading post founded by colonists from the Dutch Republic in 1624 on Lower Manhattan; the post was named New Amsterdam in 1626. The territory and its surroundings came under English control in 1664 and were renamed New York after King Charles II of England granted the lands to his brother, the Duke of York. New York, based in present-day Manhattan, served as the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790. The Statue of Liberty greeted millions of immigrants as they came to the Americas by ship in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is a world symbol of the United States and its ideals of liberty and peace. Manhattan became a borough during the consolidation of New York City in 1898.
New York County is the United States' second-smallest county by land area (larger only than Kalawao County, Hawaii), and is also the most densely populated U.S. county. It is also one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with a census-estimated 2017 population of 1,664,727 living in a land area of 22.83 square miles (59.13 km2), or 72,918 residents per square mile (28,154/km2), higher than the density of any individual U.S. city. On business days, the influx of commuters increases this number to over 3.9 million, or more than 170,000 people per square mile (65,600/km2). Manhattan has the third-largest population of New York City's five boroughs, after Brooklyn and Queens, and is the smallest borough in terms of land area.Many districts and landmarks in Manhattan are well known, as New York City received a record 62.8 million tourists in 2017, and Manhattan hosts three of the world's 10 most-visited tourist attractions in 2013: Times Square, Central Park, and Grand Central Terminal. The borough hosts many prominent bridges, such as the Brooklyn Bridge; skyscrapers such as the Empire State Building; and parks, such as Central Park. Chinatown incorporates the highest concentration of Chinese ...

Trump Admin Turns To Supreme Court On Census
Reuters reports that President Donald Trump’s administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday to postpone a trial set for Nov. 5. The trial will examine the legality of its decision to ask people taking part in the 2020 U.S. census whether they are citizens.
The administration is asking for the trial to be placed on hold until the Supreme Court resolves a dispute over evidence. The evidence dispute includes whether Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, whose department oversees the census, can be forced to answer questions about the politically charged decision.
On Friday, Manhattan U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman and a federal appeals court both refused to postpone the trial. Furman will preside over the trial.

SUMMARY
=======
William Learned Marcy (December 12, 1786 – July 4, 1857) was an American lawyer, politician, and judge who served as U.S. Senator, Governor of New York, U.S. Secretary of War and U.S. Secretary of State. In the latter office, he negotiated the Gadsden Purchase, the last major acquisition of land in the continental United States.
Born in Southbridge, Massachusetts, Marcy established a legal practice in Troy, New York after graduating from Brown University. He fought in the War of 1812, serving as a captain of volunteers. Politically, he aligned with the Bucktail faction of the Democratic-Republican Party and became a leading member of the Albany Regency. As the Democratic-Republicans fractured in the 1820s, he became a member of the Democratic Party. Between 1821 and 1831, he successively served as Adjutant General of New York, New York State Comptroller, and as an associate justice of the New York Supreme Court. In 1831, the New York legislature elected Marcy to the U.S. Senate, and he held that position until 1833, when he became the Governor of New York. He served three terms as governor until his defeat in 1838 by the Whig nominee, William Seward.
He served as Secretary of War under James K. Polk from 1845 to 1849, overseeing the Mexican–American War. After leaving the Polk administration, he resumed the practice of law and became a leader of the Soft Hunker faction of the New York Democratic Party. He returned to the Cabinet in 1853, serving as Secretary of State under Franklin Pierce. In this role, he resolved a dispute about the status of U.S. immigrants abroad and directed U.S. diplomats to dress in the plain style of an ordinary American rather than the court-dress many had adopted from Europe. He also negotiated a reciprocity treaty with British North America and the Gadsden purchase with Mexico, acquiring territory in present-day Arizona and New Mexico. He left office in 1857 and died shortly thereafter.
