9. There’s a Separate Elevator to Get to the Manhattan Municipal Building’s Cupola

If you visit the Manhattan Municipal Building’s cupola, you’ll discover that it takes three separate elevator rides to reach the top. The first ride will stop at the 19th floor, where the office of Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer is located. From there, you have to take a freight elevator to the 24th floor and then transfer to a small golden elevator, specifically meant to take visitors through the Manhattan Municipal Building’s tower (and ultimately up to the cupola).
