For a cool experience in New York City’s Grand Central Terminal, check out the intriguing whispering gallery.

Located on the dinning concourse, near the Oyster Bar & Restaurant, the low arches in front of the restaurant carry sound in an unusual way. When one person whispers into an arch in one corner, it will sound like they are standing right next to someone who is standing in a diagonal corner across the room. It’s best to try this out when there aren’t a lot of people around – it’s harder to experience this with loud background noise. And it’s free!
