No it is not. On the contrary it is all about liberal mingling of art, culture, food, opportunities, business and utilities. Transporting you is incidental. This is my story and impressions about Grand Central, New York. There were a few hours spent over two days, day one was all about understanding and talking to the station and day two was more of being a shutter bug. Day one kind of prepared me for crouching, squatting,\u00a0 bending, folding, leaning, jumping etc, day two was all about allowing the camera to do its job.<br \/>\n<!--NoAds--><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3504\" style=\"width: 613px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/travel\/blog\/tours\/few-hours-at-grand-central-terminal-new-york\/attachment\/grand-central-terminal-exteriors-2\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3504\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3504\" class=\"wp-image-3504 size-my-custom-thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/travel-blog\/grand-central-terminal-exteriors-603x405.jpg\" alt=\"Grand Central New York\" width=\"603\" height=\"405\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3504\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of the World\u2019s Greatest Travel Hubs \u2013 Grand Central Terminal, New York<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Grand Central Terminal &#8211; Its not just a Railway Station<\/h2>\n<p>I am directly in the line of sight of Grand Central Terminal. Yes, it is Grand Central Terminal and not Grand Central Station. It is a terminal because the trains end here and in a technical sense a station is a halt where trains stop and move on. It looks grand, the clock looks huge and the sculpture is simply one of the most striking art pieces in the open. The clock is flanked by\u00a0exquisitely designed &amp;\u00a0 carved statues of Minerva, Hercules and Mercury. The clock itself has a circumference of 13 feet.

Where would we meet? Meet me under the clock. This clock has been a meeting point to more people than almost all the clocks put together in NYC.This is The Grand Central Clock. You can&#8217;t miss it, it is almost in the center of the main concourse area of GCT. This information booth has seen many marriage proposals and all because of the way this clock defines time. Now, this is an expensive clock; recently its value was assessed by two valuers to be in the range of $10 Million to $20 Million.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3522\" style=\"width: 613px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/travel\/blog\/tours\/few-hours-at-grand-central-terminal-new-york\/attachment\/tracks-at-grand-central-terminal-2\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3522\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3522\" class=\"size-my-custom-thumb wp-image-3522\" src=\"https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/travel-blog\/tracks-at-grand-central-terminal-603x405.jpg\" alt=\"Tracks at Grand Central Terminal\" width=\"603\" height=\"405\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3522\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">If it is a train terminal \u2013 we must talk about tracks<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If it is a train terminal we must talk about tracks and when we talk about tracks, first and foremost is the phrase &#8220;be on the right track&#8221;.
