New York City's Hidden Gem → Fort Tryon with The Cloisters and more 

If you need a palate cleanser from the concrete jungle that is New York City, Fort Tryon is worth the visit into the most northern part of Upper Manhattan (accessible by the subway’s A train). Believe it or not, you can find 66 acres of greenery, a medieval atmosphere, flowers, and vistas in NYC. It truly is a hidden gem and one of the best kept secrets of New York City. And in this video, we are going to look at an overview of this hidden gem in the world’s most famous concrete jungle - Fort Tryon. We’ll also talk about The Met Cloisters, Linden Terrace, and other features of the park. Plus I’ll tell you a really eccentric story about one of the earlier owners of this land.
