In the winter of 1913, Grand Central Station was officially opened
and immediately became one of the most beautiful and recognizable
Manhattan landmarks. In this celebration of the one hundred year
old terminal, Sam Roberts of The New York Times looks back at the
terminal's conception, amazing history, and the far-reaching
cultural effects of Grand Central that continues to amaze tourists
and shuttle busy commuters. Along the way, Roberts will explore how
the Manhattan transit hub truly foreshadowed the evolution of
suburban expansion in the country, and fostered the nation's
westward expansion and growth via train. Featuring quirky anecdotes
and behind-the-scenes information, this book will allow readers to
peek into the secret and unseen areas of Grand Central -- from the
tunnels, to the command center, to the hidden passageways. With
stories about everything from the famous movies that have used
Grand Central as a location to the forty-eight foot long snake that
made the building his home, this is a fascinating and, exciting
look at a true American institution.
