Spots: Downtown Manhattan — City Hall Area

Spot: The one standout obstacle of this spot is the famous double set ledge. It’s a little over a foot in height, extends about eight feet out over a two-flat-three, and down a four foot drop. There’s a fairly large chunk taken out of it in the middle from years of bikes and skateboards, so certain tricks (i.e. a crooked grind) would prove to be difficult on it. The runway and the landing are both perfectly ample in gathering up speed, and the ledge itself has endured years of wax, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble sliding across it. In back, there’s the Pace Jr. ledge, which is under a foot in height, and extends about four feet over a two stair. There are also a couple of small stair sets here and there, but nothing worth stopping by for.

Bust — ♦♦♦ / Half-and-half: If you go here on a weekday before 6 or 7 P.M., you’re liable to get kicked out because there are classes in the building and students usually sitting all over the ledges. Go here after seven on a weekday, or on a weekend. There’s still a chance you may get kicked out at those times, but it is a rare occurrence.

Location: Park Row and Spruce Street. Take the 4, 5, 6, J, M or Z trains to Brooklyn Bridge — City Hall, and the spot is right outside, or across Park Row, depending on which exit you get out of.
