12 HIDDEN SECRETS in Bryant Park | New York City
Рет қаралды 133,321
Күн бұрынBryant Park is the busiest park in the world, but few visitors know about the trap door, the secret escape hatch from an underground room, or the ruins from the 1800's. Here's a list of my top 12 secrets of Bryant Park.
If you're interested in taking a free tour of Bryant Park and learning even more, I highly recommend it:
bryantpark.org/programs/park-t...
Also, the free movie I referred to in the library at 4:24 talks a lot about the history of the park, the old reservoir, and the library. It's really interesting.
If you liked this video, be sure to check out my 12 hidden secrets in New York playlist, with secrets from Times Square and Central Park: • 12 HIDDEN SECRETS in C...
12 Secrets in Bryant Park:
1: It used to be a cemetery
2. The New York Public Library Stacks are directly below the park lawn and contain 37 miles of bookshelves. Check out Gothamist's video about the stacks here: www.dailymotion.com/video/x3hrh1c
3. Escape hatch from the stacks
4. The trap door by the carousel
5. Every activity and event is free
6. Free Wifi throughout the park
7. Power outlets are all over the place
8. Free, clean, amazing public restroom, consistently rated one of the best bathrooms in New York
9. The change thrown into the fountain adds up to about $4000 per year
10. London Plane trees were Robert Moses' favorite tree (he basically created the NYC Parks Department) and so he made the leaf of the London Plane tree into the logo for the parks department
11. Croton Reservoir foundation ruins
12. Rose Reading Room

Thanks for your videos of New York. I first visited NY in 2004 and I stayed for 50 days. My second visit was in 2008 and I stayed for 40 days. I have been saving up to go back to NYC. It’s taking me a while to save because I want to stay in NY for 90 days. I truly believe I was a New Yorker in a past life. For the meantime I watch your videos of NY and it makes waiting more bearable.

Thanks for sharing! When I lived on the Upper East Side and worked in Manhattan in the early 1970s Bryant Park wasn't anything like this and we all headed to gorgeous Central Park which still is, but I would love to go to Bryant Park now and eat at that beautiful restaurant! The city has done a phenomenal job restoring the Library and the park, fantastic job! Reminds me now of the beautiful parks in Paris with flower gardens, trees, a fountain and those French cafe tables and chairs as well as umbrella tables! If I lived in NYC again, I would be hanging out at Bryant Park all the time! On my bucket list now! Marvelous job!

I knew about the library being underground, the free events, and the bathroom. The rest I had no idea and will check those things out the next time I am at the park. If you walk past the statue that's right by the library in the park, you can also see all the way down 42nd Street which is kind of neat as well. I have never been inside the library yet, but I plan on visiting. They were closed the times I have been in that area. Great video.

For New Yorkers it might sound a tad bit cringeworthy when a foreigner says "I wanna go to NYC!" But for someone who lives in the opposite part of the world, going to NYC was really an altering sensation for me. There was something about the city that was so lively and it instilled certain kind of energy in me. I went there twice and I still ache to return. Maybe next time, with this channel's videos as my guide.
@PerfectLittlePlanet 4 жыл бұрын
New Yorkers have a big ego - we think this is the best city in the world. So we totally understand when people say they want to visit. "Of course you would. New York is the BEST!" I totally agree that it has its own energy and it gets into you when you're here. It's hard to explain, but you feel it. Happy to share tips and recommendations when you start planning your next trip! -Brian

Very cool vid. Sincerely, The Bryant Park Vampire Ps. (Had no idea it was the busiest park in the world---this makes me more famous than I'd thought!)

Weird I've never met you. I guess I need to hang out in Bryant Park at night more often. :)
@danielventre5040 3 жыл бұрын
Well, I'm not recognized by the park authority as an official entity--- in fact, these days I cant even step into the park for more than a couple of minutes at a time without getting harassed by the park security(they hate my guts). Anyhow, just look my name up on Google, there are plenty of articles about me in the city news papers. All the best, D.

I tried filming in there (secretly) and got caught sadly, the woodwork in the library is just so amazing inside!

What happened to the black pyramid in the kids park in Central Park? I can’t find it anywhere...
@PerfectLittlePlanet 5 жыл бұрын
I don't remember the black pyramid. I know the Ancient Playground just north of the MET has all the brick pyramids the kids climb on. Is that what you're talking about? -Brian

One secret missing is that Bryant Park was the site of America's first World's Fair in 1853, The Crystal Palace.

Are all those free places you showed still free today 2021?
@PerfectLittlePlanet 2 жыл бұрын
Yes. There are fewer events because of Covid, but Bryant Park's mission is to provide free events to the public, so they won't start charging for anything.

back in the 70's it was an open air smoke shop - you could get a decent sized joint of good quality for a dollar. You could do one on your lunch break right beside the library and no one gave a damn.
@PerfectLittlePlanet 6 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I heard it was dubbed "Needles Park" back then because you could get more than just a good joint. -Brian

I was happy to Visit New York in 2017 and I visited Bryant’s park and a girl was giving out books in the park told me it was a cemetery,I like Bryant park more than Central Park ,cause there’s no animals and no smell of animals leftovers,but I love animals but from the vision a space between me and them 😇😇😇😇😇

Haha, I love animals but definitely not their smell or their poop. :)

@erikh6413 6 жыл бұрын
Yes I did it with my son last October it takes a few hours you can download the tour here www.henryhudson400.com/news.php?id=108 Funny thing was that no one I spoke to in New York had any idea where I was talking about.

I'll definitely do it and make a video about it. More people should definitely know about it. Can I promote you when I make it? Want me to send people to your instagram or youtube channel? -Brian

A bunch! Just off the top of my head there's the Seaglass carousel in Battery Park, there's one in Brooklyn Bridge Park, Central Park, Prospect Park, Pier 62 (I think 62), and Bronx Zoo has a little one for kids (you sit in bugs). :)
