New York's night court, which operates from 5pm to 1am, has become a worldwide tourist attraction because it's so freakish. Nowhere else in the world are courts in operation in the dead of night like this. "At 12.30am on a freezing Wednesday morning, it's not just New York City's famously 24/7 bar and club scene that's a hive of activity. Deep in the heart of Manhattan, a man in handcuffs is standing in front of a judge, listening to a string of firearms and assault charges as a crowd of lawyers hum around him and solemn family members watch from wooden benches. This is night court, an operation that has become a strange kind of tourist attraction for visitors to New York looking for something a little out of the ordinary. "If you like Law and Order, you'll love this," says one TripAdvisor review, while the Lonely Planet guide has described it as "underground and unique". But for the worried families watching their loved ones emerge from holding cells to face up to accusations of felonies and misdemeanours, this isn't a game."
