Grand Central Terminal
On this virtual talk and tour, we’ll explore the history of transportation in New York from the early horse and carriage to the way New Yorkers commute locally and to the suburbs. At the end, you’ll know if you wish to include it on your NYC itinerary, and how much time to spend there on your self-guided experience. The story of Grand Central Terminal is a remarkable architectural wonder and a must see for over 21 million visitors each year. Hear how the building was almost demolished, who saved it and how, and what renovations have taken place over the past 100 years. Next, we’ll take our virtual tour together as we visit each area so you can see the secrets of Grand Central and know where they are when you visit the building on your own. You’ll see the famous clock, incredible ceiling, and hear the stories behind each of them. You’ll know why the main concourse was used as a WW II spy training site, and see the locations made famous in movies shown around the world and more.
