When our son was about six years old, he was a huge Yankees fan even though we lived in California. We were visiting my folks outside Philly and I took him to NYC for the day to catch a Yankees game. I kept our destination a secret. We changed trains in Philly and headed north on an express train through Jersey to NYC.

We arrived at Grand Central Station and my son’s eyes got REAL WIDE. “Wow, Dad, this is incredible!” Why we were there was still a secret. I was going to surprise him by taking a taxi to Yankee Stadium and let him see the stadium as we got out of the cab.

We were in that very magnificent hall in the photo and a very nice police officer came up to us ask asked my son “Are you going to the Yankees game today?” LOL. So much for keeping it a secret! But the look on his face was priceless right at Grand Central Station.

Great memory!

GREAT Post Sam!

Can’t tell you how much I enjoyed that.

Although most of my friends and family frequently take day trips to NYC (from Philadelphia), it has nothing to offer me, so I’m speaking from conjecture, but I suspect it’s much worse today.

Give it a few years and the leftists will tear it down, because it’s racist or something.

Lived in Fairfield County, CT (SW CT closest to NYC commuting wise). Business took me into the ‘City’ several times a month ... this was the mid-70’s thru the late ‘80’s. Grand Central became very familiar ... even walked on the walkways in the large windows on the west side ... the NYC Traffic Club had the entrance to their offices on the top floor (left window top tier). Interesting era ... Grand Central is much improved based on my last visit five years ago.

It’s a beautiful place - I am there 4 days a week.
