Grand Central Secrets.

After coming across this on one of my favorite blogs, A Cup of Joe, I just had to re-post! So want to know a secret? Grand Central has an AMAZING whispering gallery. Here's how it works...

You walk to the corridor outside the famous Oyster Bar & Restaurant. You'll see four low arches, built by a father and son back in 1913...
If you and a friend stand at diagonal corners of the arches (so you're the farthest apart you can be), and whisper softly, you'll be able to HEAR each other--as clearly as if you were whispering into each other's ears!
It's like magic!
"The voice actually follows the curvature of the ceiling," says urban historian Justin Ferate. It's called "telegraphing."


P.S. Cup of Jo Guide to NYC, including a secret playground and secret restaurant.
