12 HIDDEN SECRETS in Bryant Park | New York City

Bryant 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:

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.
