A "secret" sub-basement known as M42 lies under the Terminal, containing the converters used to supply traction current. The exact location is a closely guarded secret and does not appear on maps.

The food plaza downstairs is closed at 10 pm. The zarro'a bakery on the west side is still open and your best bet after. 10

Have time to kill? The closest thing to a mall in NYC, the shops at Grand Central Station run the gamut from high-end lingerie to French pastries.

If you're taking a train into the city with a large group of people (like a scout group) DON'T MEET ON THE PLATFORM LIKE THE IDIOTS I SAW YESTERDAY. Completely blocked people from getting off!

If you've got time to kill and they kick you off the steps there is a waiting room with wooden pews and free wifi in the northwest corner.

Look at the ceiling in the Main Concourse. A single dark patch remains above the Michael Jordan Steakhouse, left untouched by renovators to remind visitors of the grime that once covered the ceiling.

Classical building, a lot of people taking the train to across city

This is one of my favorite places in the city. There's something magical about the place.

This place is overwhelmingly big! Try not to block the way of people actually using the station and trying to catch their metro.
Elaine MarchegianoJanuary 23, 2012
Jackie O was instrumental in the renovation of the terminal. It's a beautiful building and the main clock is a popular meeting spot.

There are tennis courts here at GCT, although under renovation right now. Try to get some tennis in -- I hear they're uncovering the windows for the first time in 70 years!

This is where it all begins. Or ends. Where S returned from boarding school, where B headed to Yale, and where D and S struck up an unlikely romance. (I Will Always Love You)

Get in the way of people trying to get somewhere. Also get in the way of tourists trying to get nowhere in particular. And photobomb. Just photobomb every chance you get.

If traveling to Westchester for the weekend, leave Saturday morning - the station is less crowded and the trains are practically empty.

Metro North: your new trains'seating layout design is a cramped disaster, please hire someone who has studied human physiology & redesign before putting another new car in service.
