Whispering Gallery – Grand Central Station
Although this is one of the most popular hidden gems of New York, the Whispering Gallery still deserves a place on this list as one of the most romantic secret treasures this city has to offer. Grand Central Station is as symbolic as the Statue of Liberty and as impressive as the Empire State building, but within its glorious architecture, lays an acoustic phenomenon. On the Terminal’s dining concourse, in front of the famous Oyster Bar & Restaurant, is an archway that if whispered into will carry the voice as a shout to the diagonal archway. Many marriage proposals and romantic gestures have taken place here using the secrets of the whispering walls. Travelers can witness the intricate beauty of Grand Central’s murals and try a hand at the mystifying sound effect.
