21 is an interesting place to hide from the heat in New York for free

When the temperature in the street rises, the first instinct for many New Yorkers is to escape to the nearest pool or beach, or even hide from the city. But sometimes the best solution is a good air conditioning or a cool room.

In addition to urban cooling centers, in New York there are dozens of places where you can cool down for free.

1. Staten island ferry

Address: 4 South St, New York, NY

The Staten Island Ferry is one of the best free things to do in New York City, even if you're not looking for chilled air. It's a leisurely 30-minute ride through New York Harbor overlooking the Statue of Liberty. While the sea breeze is often enough to unwind, you can also step down into the cabin and enjoy the air conditioning in silence.

2.60 Wall Street

Address: 60 Wall St, New York, NY 10005

One of the city’s most unique private public spaces can be found at 60 Wall Street, designed by Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and partners in 1989. A delightful postmodern space filled with palm trees, columns and many places where it’s nice to sit.

3. Brookfield place

Address: 230 Vesey St, New York, NY

The Brookfield Place Garden is fascinating: the setting, a glass atrium dotted with palm trees. It has free Wi-Fi and access to many metro stations; and, like some other places on this list, proximity to restaurants if necessary.

4. Oculus

Address: Liberty St & Church Ave, New York, NY

Calatrava's Oculus is a public space with really good air conditioning. If you want to get away from the crowd, go to the corridors of the main hall.

5. Fulton Transit Center

The subway tunnels and platforms at the Fulton Transit Center are unbearably hot at this time of year, but the public space that connects them remains blessedly cool.

6. Essex Market

Address: 88 Essex St, New York, NY 10002

The new Essex Market is big, bright and cool. While you are cooling down, you can have a snack or go shopping.

7. Strand bookstore

Address: 828 Broadway, New York, NY

Once upon a time in this beloved bookstore near Union Square there was no air conditioning, so only the most enthusiastic could shop there in the summer. But modernization overtook the bookstore in 2005, and now you can choose what to read even on the hottest summer days.

8. Chelsea market

Address: 75 9th Ave, New York, NY 10011

Head to the Chelsea Market, where you can freshen up and explore the shop window while you are there. There is plenty of places to eat and enjoy the views in the nearby High Line grocery room.

9. The Shops at Hudson Yards

Address: Hudson Yards, New York, NY 10001

The shops at Hudson Yards are essentially a very fashionable shopping center. And one good thing about malls is strong air conditioning. If you find yourself on the west side of Manhattan during a heat wave, this is a great place to cool down.

10 Grand Central Terminal

Address: 87 E 42nd St, New York, NY

One of the advantages of Grand Central Terminal, in addition to free air conditioning, is the fact that there are many ways to pass the time on a really unbearably hot day.

11. New york public library

Address: 476 5th Ave, New York, NY

There is no entrance to the library building on Fifth Avenue, and given its location close to many major tourist attractions, it is ideal for hot times when you need a break. Bonus: the library has a gift shop, as well as fascinating exhibits that compete with exhibitions in institutions such as Met and MoMA.

12. The plaza hotel

Address: 768 5th Ave, New York, NY

The Plaza is one of the rare New York hotels where walking through the public areas won't result in strange looks from hotel staff, thanks in part to the fact that it's a tourist attraction. But it's a good place to stop by if you're feeling tired, and especially if you've spent the day in nearby Central Park.

13. Ibm midtown

Address: 590 Madison Ave, New York, NY

This private public space in the IBM Building, designed by Edward Larabi Barnes, is a glass atrium with free Wi-Fi, food stalls and more.

14. David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center

Address: 61 W 62nd St, New York, NY

It features a 20 foot tall living wall designed by architect Tod Williams Bill Qien, as well as a floor-to-ceiling fountain, seating areas, free Wi-Fi and an exhibition space. Lincoln Center also uses the space for the show.

15. Bronx museum of the arts

Address: 1040 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY

One of the best cultural institutions of the Bronx is also completely free.

16. MoMA PS1 Contemporary Art Center

Address: 2225 Jackson Ave, Queens, NY

This privilege applies only to New Yorkers: MoMA PS1, an outpost of the Long Island City art institution, is free to all residents.

17. Train to Rockaways

Taking any subway line is a fantastic way to avoid the heat (as long as it's not rush hour), but the A train to Rockaways provides one of the most beautiful rides in the city. Sit by the window and watch for dozens of herons, cranes and seabirds.

18. Empire Stores
On the Brooklyn waterfront, the renovated Empire Stores is another great place to both relax and kill time, with a variety of shops (including Shinola and West Elm) and an elegant atrium that leads to Brooklyn Bridge Park.
19. City point
Address: 445 Albee Square, Brooklyn, NY
It is just a mall. But what is good about shopping centers is that they are always cooled to the ideal temperature.
20. The center for fiction
Address: 15 Lafayette Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217
A new outpost of the Center for Fiction has opened in Fort Green. On Sundays, they also organize a free event where you can kill two birds with one stone: cool off and work on a novel that you've been thinking about for years.
21. Empire Outlets

Address: 55 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, NY 10301

If you have already traveled by ferry from Staten Island, walk a bit to the new Empire Outlets. If you want to go outside, there is a good promenade that connects the shopping center, ferry terminal and Staten Island Yankees Stadium.
