Hidden Wine Vaults

Completed in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge was built with a series of passages and compartments in its anchorages, which were rented out in order to fund the $15 million project, or $388 million in 2018 dollars.

Given their dim and cavernous interiors, these vaults were ideal for storing wine, champagne and liqueurs. And historically, though used on a discontinuous basis, the vaults are accessible for the History buffs among you via Untapped Cities.
