In the concrete jungle that is New York City, hidden treasures are a rare find.
But thanks to a viral TikTok video by user “Jeffreyinnyc,” the city’s best-kept secret is now out — and it’s a treehouse wonderland right in the heart of Manhattan.
With a jaw-dropping 2.8 million views in just a matter of days, Jeffrey’s video pulled back the curtain on this enchanting escape, in the East Village between avenues B and C. It’s safe to say that the Big Apple has been buzzing about this covert garden gem.
“Would you believe me if I told you that this treehouse was hidden in the middle of a garden in Manhattan and open to the public?” Jeffrey teases at the start of his captivating video, and believe it or not, it’s true.
Step inside 6BC, a botanical garden paradise where you’ll find nature’s beauty woven through winding trails that make you forget you’re even in the city that never sleeps.
“The density of the plants is so thick that you almost can’t see the buildings around you. It feels as if you’re not even in New York City,” Jeffrey adds as he navigates through the lush greenery.
But the pièce de résistance of this secret sanctuary is undoubtedly the treehouse itself. A place where you can grab a good book and soak in the serene views of nature.
It’s like a page out of a fairy tale right in the heart of the city. As Jeffrey puts it, “My favorite thing about this garden is the treehouse.”
The response to Jeffrey’s revelation was nothing short of astonishing, with New Yorkers flooding the comments section.
One joker quipped, “Why did I think this was going to be a post for renting this treehouse? Only $5000 a month, 12% broker’s fee.”
Another amazed New Yorker wrote, “I’ve lived here all of my life and did not know about this place, thanks.”
It’s incredible how a city can keep its secrets even from its longtime residents.
Nostalgia struck a chord with one native New Yorker, who shared, “Nostalgia hit the second I saw those steps — I spent my childhood coming to this garden and going to the treehouse with my mom.” It’s a testament to the timeless charm of this hidden oasis.
So, if you’re seeking a slice of tranquility amidst the urban chaos, or simply looking to escape the grind, this secret treehouse nestled in the heart of NYC’s East Village might just be your new happy place.
