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:
bryantpark.org/...
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.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Wow, thank you so much Clairie! I really appreciate your support. I hope you have a great day! -Brian

[@crazykiller7305]

I live in NYC and knowing these facts is fascinating. Love these videos! Keep up the great work

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thanks so much! Hope you get a chance to go over to Bryant Park and see some of these for yourself. Have a great weekend! -Brian

[@sazh4350]

I live in NYC and I didn’t know this stuff!! Thanks for this

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Yeah, I had to do a bunch of research to put these secrets together. I learned a bunch, too! -Brian

[@kimcheebabies7642]

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.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

You're welcome. I feel so lucky to live here and experience so much of it. :)

[@jetgeneration]

this is amazing, i can’t wait to see these secrets for myself whenever i go back to new york. love your channel btw.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thanks so much Spaceman! I appreciate the support. And I'm excited for you to see everything in real life. It's always so much more exciting when I finally see something for real after watching videos on it. -Brian

[@NewWalls98]

The attendants of public restrooms are very sweet . Inside filled with fresh flowers just like hotels !

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

That's right! I forgot to mention them. Thank you. Those people are the nicest!

[@ElementaryExplorers]

So interesting! How do you know all of this?!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

I do a LOT of research. :) I love learning new things. -Brian

[@jeddenny1914]

That library is where the filmed the day after tomorrow I’m pretty sure

[@danielventre5040]

And the beginning of ghost busters

[@Drive615]

Great video! Would love to meet up and see some cool spots in the city with you. Moved here 7 months ago. Go to Bryant Park weekly and never knew any of those facts...awesome!!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Glad you liked it! We're out in Utah for the next few weeks. We'll be back in the City for a week at the beginning of May and then off traveling again. Are you living in Manhattan? We'll be on the Upper West Side. -Brian

[@miltrans2]

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

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Oh wow, that's interesting. I hadn't heard about that. Thanks for sharing! -Brian

[@daraamadea4413]

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]

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

[@miranda1985..]

I have just found u on KZbin and subscribed, your awesome so much great information that I never new about keep it up

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thanks Miranda! We have lots more to share. Welcome to our little family. :) -Brian

[@brendadrew834]

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!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Yes! Bryant Park is such a fun place to hang out now. I've heard stories about it the 70's and I still can't believe the change the park has gone through. Hopefully you can get back sometime and join in on all the fun activities there. -Brian

[@Munirs1998]

Love Bryant Park. Every time I go to NY, I go there to find my inner peace. Just love the vibe. When I went one day for a chilled walk, I immediately knew where to head to: Yes, Bryant Park! Thank you BP and NY!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thanks for your comment! I totally agree. I'm usually more of a Central Park fan, but Bryant Park definitely has its own unique vibe and sometimes I just need to head down there to get my fix. :) -Brian

[@Ram-lr6ud]

Great videos! Please keep making them.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thank you! I've got lots more coming. :) Thanks for the support! -Brian

[@grantliddiard7742]

Great video. Thank you. Was in NYC last year. Went to the free yoga at the park. Amazing area

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

We've done free yoga in Bryant Park a few times and it's always a great experience. Glad you were able to do it.

[@ijsawhney]

Need a video about lesser known free parking spots in Manhattan too.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

That would be great info to have out there! The key would be nabbing one. Haha! Thanks for the suggestion. -Isa

[@worldtravelrafhat7886]

Thanks for showing hidden places in Bryant Park.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

[@kiva_kaze]

Wonderful! I head to Bryant park a lot when i go to the city so this is a perfect video!!! Bless up!✨👌

[@Monorail-Beyond-the-Veil]

This was very interesting, makes me want to go there.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you can get there soon. It's such a great park!

[@WiseAssGamer]

Before I get started, great video, I'm seeing a lot of stuff I've never seen before. Keep rocking on.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thank you so much! Glad I could share some new things with you. -Brian

[@Vinylzilla]

Next time im in NYC i’ll need to check these secrets out! Thank for the video

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching and I hope you can find even more secrets when you visit. :) -Brian

Muchas gracias! Que tenga un buen dia! -Brian

[@blankface_]

Make one for Prospect Park!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

I'd love to! Thanks for the suggestion -Brian

[@peggylee97]

awesome video! really like your informative way of explaining this and your humble personality! good vibes

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thanks Peggy! I'm really glad you liked the video. Happy to share some fun insights about the City. :) Have a great day! -Brian

[@cirocobama]

Another great one! Thank you so much for all these fantastic videos.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@ceebee9633]

Just discovered your channel. I’ve only watched this and the Central Park video so far and they’re so interesting! I absolutely love stuff like this, thanks so much for making these.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting Cee Bee. I can't wait to get out and do more videos like these. Just waiting on New York to open back up again. Stay safe!

[@kiva_kaze]

Wonderful! I head to Bryant park a lot when i go to the city so this is a perfect video!!! Bless up!✨👌

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

That's awesome. I love when people can actually take things they saw in the video and go do it in person. Have fun! -Brian

[@RyanAnthonyHenry.]

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

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Right?! It's weird to talk so highly about a bathroom but it's really amazing! -Brian

[@volttherobot]

Secret #13: Bryant Park Geocache. Bring something small, find the geocache, discretely swap your thing with whatever's in there, then post your thing on Instagram #BryantParkGeocache xoxo

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

I've always wanted to get into Geochaching. I heard there are also a bunch up in Central Park, too.

[@ecamp6360]

Spent many an hour in Rose reading room back in H.S. and college, BEFORE the restoration. The Map room is my fave tho. My college prez, and a H.S. classmate, have both been president of NYPL.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

That's really cool. I don't know that I've ever been in the Map room. Is that on the top floor?

[@playgroundboy907]

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 😇😇😇😇😇

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

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

[@tassiet3658]

Gday guys, you’re officially my new favourite channel!! Keep up the great work

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thanks so much for the support, Tassie. What an honor!

[@Tradingtraveler]

So fascinating! I loved visiting Bryant Park when we were in NYC, especially at Christmas, but would have never known about these facts. Love that you can spend the day working there with free wifi and charge stations!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

It's the best. I've gone down to the park on plenty of nice Spring or Summer days to work. And if you end up getting too distracted by the people in the Park, you can just go over to the library and work in the Rose Reading Room. -Brian

[@usermikes]

During the Revolutionary War, General George Washington and his troops crossed the park after suffering a defeat in the Battle of Long Island in 1776.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

I hadn't heard that. Very cool! Up until we saw Hamilton, I had no idea how much Revolutionary War stuff happened in New York. I thought it was all in Boston and Philly. -Brian

[@a-love-supremist]

Very informative. There's a live stream of the park here on YT and I was wondering what the big deal was with it, besides just being a big grassy area to decompress. Thanks!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Haha, I've seen that live stream. I think it's good to check if you're planning on going to watch a movie in the park or one of the other popular events. It gets really packed, so you can check to see how busy it is before you head over. -Brian

[@ricardomonteiro2523]

This dude: Finds 1800's ruins. Me, an european: *Finds Roman ruins from 2000 years ago 5 miles away from home and drives daily though a Roman bridge*

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

I know, right? #EuropeancitiesarecoolerthanAmericancities.

[@EngPMgt]

I know everything except the free wifi and power outlets 😅 Thanks 🙏🏻

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

You're welcome. Yeah, I hadn't noticed the power outlets before. That was a fun find for me too. -Brian

[@Annie-vc6cf]

thank you for the wonderful tips! I will most certainly use some of them! Also- thank you for getting me excited about exploring New York again- sometimes the grindstone of life an get me down, but that was inspiring.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thank you! I really hope to inspire people to get out and explore, especially in New York. I made a "Secrets of Central Park" video too if you want to go up and explore there. There's even more things to find there. :) Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4WVdqSjqMqeg9k

[@Annie-vc6cf]

Perfect Little Planet I actually watch that video before I moved to NYC last August! :) I loved it!

[@sugarman08]

It makes me laugh you couldn't even go in that Park when I was a kid all there was where Junkies and homeless people. The new people would have never survived

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Yeah, when I was doing research for this video, some of the stories were CRAZY. I literally cannot imagine how different it was back then compared to today. -Brian

[@SophieLovesSunsets]

I always enjoy your videos guys! Especially your videos about NYC :) I live here in New York and what I really love most about this city is that it really is such a treasure chest with hidden gems everywhere. Bryant Park is one of me and my hubby's favourite places. I❤️NY 🗽

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Yay! So glad you like our NYC videos - those are our favorites too. :) There is always so much more to do and see. We still have lots more to share. Thanks so much for watching! -Brian

You're welcome! Thank you for the kind words. :) -Brian

[@greenspiraldragon]

London plane tree is actually a hybrid between two tree species, the American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) and the Oriental plane tree

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Interesting. I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing!

[@spmcdill]

So, that's where the ghost in the beginning of Ghostbusters came from. 🤔 👻 🚫

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Ahh, I didn't make that connection. Haha, nice one! -Brian

[@spmcdill]

Perfect Little Planet I actually got to go into the stacks once. Its pretty fascinating. They look nothing like the movie though. I'm currently binging your road trip vlogs. I love the videos. Keep up the great work. 👍🏼

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thanks Shannon! That's really cool that you got to go into the stacks. I'd love to take a tour of the library. I bet there's so many interesting things to see in there! -Brian

[@alysekobin5088]

How lucky that we live in this beautiful city!!!!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

I know right?! So many great things here. Our quality of life here in New York is so much higher than when we live other places. -Brian

[@AlexTechie]

John Stosell's "$2 million bathroom" video brought me here. This place is beautiful; I hope to see it one day.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

It's pretty great. Super useful when you're hanging out in midtown and need to use a restroom. -Brian

[@geoffallibone4026]

Excellent content and presentation. Thank you

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thank you for the compliments. I really appreciate it! -Brian

[@thonyjr]

One secret of Bryant Park is that management provides no indoor shelter for the park staff except for a tiny cramped house, and treat the employees horribly, a fact that is hidden behind all the free events, movies, lawn, rink etc.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Oof, that's really too bad. It appears to be such a well-run Park, I assumed management would run their own teams similarly.

[@amapolapoppy4026]

Sorry, but you speak too fast and no clear for people from UK and Europa!. 😊🇪🇦🇬🇧

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Sorry about that. I've definitely learned that I need to slow down and enunciate better. But if you turn on captions for the video, that might help.

[@phoneflasher]

What happened to the black pyramid in the kids park in Central Park? I can’t find it anywhere...

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

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

[@Millennial.christian]

I love this! Just unsure how safe it would be to work on my Mac there! lol

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Totally fine. I've got a MacBook Air and I've worked in Bryant Park plenty of times. Enjoy! -Brian

[@greenspiraldragon]

Scavenger hunt! Can you find all 47 outlets in the park?

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

I tried. I couldn't find them all. Good luck!

[@desertrose2059]

Very informative! Thank you!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching. -Brian

[@celtic745]

i love bryant park! i used to frequent there when I briefly worked in the area. i didn't know most of this stuff, very cool! should have taken one of those tours.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Most of these secrets didn't come from the tour, at least not the one I took. The tour talked a lot about the history of the park, its design, and interesting facts. But definitely worth it - the history is fascinating! Thanks for watching! -Brian

[@sd906238]

All the bodies were dug up and moved. We heard that many grave yards when they really just moved the grave stones.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

I would imagine they moved the bodies too since they replaced all the earth with the library stacks. But I suppose it's very possible that some of the bodies are still there. -Brian

[@carlosmartinez6164]

been going to bryant park religiously to ice skate in the winter time and I’ve never known most of these hidden secrets!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Yes! Skating in Bryant Park is the best! Glad I could share some new info with you to look for on your next visit. :) -Brian

[@marcusmaschwitz]

This is so cool. Thanks for making this. Makes me want to head there right now!!!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thank you! And you're welcome. :) Hope you have fun on your next visit! -Brian

[@tuanjelito4ever]

Nice video Bro Make one about the liberty tower

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Liberty tower? Or Freedom tower? I think Liberty tower is a residential building now. We are planning on doing the Freedom tower though, highlighting the observatory deck (it's so cool!) -Brian

[@tuanjelito4ever]

Perfect Little Planet freedom tower

[@tuanjelito4ever]

I just subscribe to your channel

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thanks! Welcome to our little family. :) And yeah, great suggestion. We'll definitely make a video down there. -Brian

[@oltlghfan2008]

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.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Glad I could share some new things for you to find next time you visit. Yeah, I highly recommend visiting the Library. It's such a pretty building. -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!)

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Weird I've never met you. I guess I need to hang out in Bryant Park at night more often. :)

[@danielventre5040]

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.

Thank you, Jeremy! I hope you're able to come to New York sooner than later. It's such a fun place to explore! Have a great weekend too! -Brian

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

NYC is definitely a fun place to visit and there's so much interesting history for being a relatively new city (compared to Europe!). Thanks for watching and commenting!

Watch me try to ice skate for the first time in BRYANT PARK

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Have fun! It's a lot less crowded this year, so that should help.

[@JohnJay9210]

Are all those free places you showed still free today 2021?

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

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.

[@juanap2230]

I miss Bryant park😞 and yes that would be weird lol your so cool.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

I don't think that's weird. Bryant Park is AMAZING and there's always so much to do. -Brian

[@watchtrainsnow1099]

I like that. Knowledge is power. They take good care of the library and the park.

For sure. So much respect for the Bryant Park team.

That bird on the chair takes a poop (at 0:12 during the Intro).

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Hahaha, I was curious if anybody would notice that. It made me laugh when I saw it in editing. Good catch. -Brian

[@DoobieShu]

I wonder if I can smoke in there..

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

There are places in Central Park you can get away with it, but Bryant Park is so small with so many people around, it'd be difficult since there's no smoking allowed in public parks. -Brian

[@anthonypepitoneVideo]

Half the people in the "READING ROOM" are on thier SmartPhones and Laptops. Nice video though - and I love Bryant Park and work one block away so I'm in it quite often all year round.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

So true, I've worked in the Reading Room so many times, but I don't think I've ever gone in there to just read. :/ Glad you noticed that. I'm going to make an effort to actually read in there now. -Brian

[@juhumamamam3768]

you forgot the biggest secret. there are ghosts living inside the library. ghostbusters even had to show up. I dont know how you missed that one dude.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

That's true. I'll have to go back at night to film that part. Thanks for the reminder!

[@straightman4272]

Ghost don't exist

[@TENNESSEETRACKHAWK]

I go to Bryant Park often and I'm from CT and never knew any of this. Thanx bud!

That's so great! September is a fantastic time to visit New York. Let me know if you have any questions as you continue to plan your trip. I'm happy to help - especially if you plan on doing things outside the normal tourist route. -Brian

Seems fitting. :)

Coby's park. R.I.P.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Yeah, I heard about the makeshift sign being posted there - "Kobe Bryant Park" RIP

[@indisummers4385]

Also - the power outlets no longer work.

That's too bad. I haven't checked them in a while, but that's really too bad.

President Trump built the skating rink.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Trump has nothing to do with the skating rink in Bryant Park. The entire winter village is sponsored by Bank of America every year. He _rebuilt_ Wollman Rink in Central Park back in the 80s when the concrete buckled 30 years after it was originally built in 1950. -Brian

Is that the library from "the day after tomorrow"?

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Yup. Same place. Minus the destruction. -Brian
