What: Join New York Adventure Club as they embark on a virtual exploration of Grand Central Terminal, one of the most beautiful and famous train terminals on Planet Earth.
Led by NYC Tour Guide Gary Dennis, our digital behind-the-scenes experience of this urban wonder of the world will include:
- The history of New York Central, the company that built Grand Central Terminal as well as the two preceding incarnations of the terminal built at the same location (third time's a charm!)
- The incredible story of how Grand Central Terminal escaped the wrecking ball, and what the Landmarks Preservation Commission, Former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and the United States Supreme Court had to do with it
- A virtual trip to the M42 Substation, the terminal's power station located 13 stories below ground, and details surrounding the failed mission by German spies during WWII to infiltrate the site
- A discussion around Track 61, a secret train track connecting Grand Central Terminal and the Waldorf-Astoria
- Mysteries of the terminal revealed including why there's a hole in the ceiling, how artists messed-up one of its most defining artworks, and how to find its hidden cocktail lounge
- Rare photos and videos from secret areas throughout the terminal, including the Tiffany Clock room, catwalks, and Operation Control Room
