Description

While the original 1910 Penn Station and most of its architectural glory was razed in 1963, remnants of its awe-inspiring past still remain... if you know where to look. What's the significance of these artifacts hiding in plain sight, and what plans are in the works to transform the station and immediate area back to its former role as an iconic gateway to New York? With the help of a transit planner, it's time to explore the past, present, and future of North America’s busiest railroad station like never before. Then, make your way on the subway via Times Square to world famous Grand Central Terminal, where we will find hidden tennis courts, the longest escalators in NYC, a cocktail bar, hidden symbols, and many other forgotten secrets!
