Trésors cachés dans le comté de New York

Hidden Gems

Explore Manhattan’s unconventional landmarks, ranging from the world’s smallest plot of private land at Hess Triangle to Walter De Maria’s Earth Room, where 280,000 pounds of soil fill a Soho loft. This collection features Mmuseumm, a tiny museum housed in a former freight elevator, and Greenacre Park’s hidden 25-foot waterfall. Visitors can access the Please Don't Tell speakeasy through a vintage phone booth or dine inside a restored 1904 bank vault at Trinity Place. The list also includes the bronze subway sculptures of Life Underground and the mystery-exclusive shelves of The Mysterious Bookshop.
