Hear from an author and map designer who has been creating maps of the NYC subway, officially and unofficially, for over forty years!
Train-lovers and Grand Central enthusiasts cannot miss the Grand Centennial Parade of Trains—the “grandest” train show in history—at Grand Central Terminal this weekend. On Saturday, May 11th and Sunday, May 12th, from 10am to 4pm, more than 20 historic train cars from around the world will be on display. The younger train enthusiasts will surely enjoy the model train collectible show, the “Master Lego Builder” from Legoland, and a series of fun activities at “Kid Junction.” Visitors will also have the chance to ride to Grand Central in style; vintage subway cars from the ’40s and ’50s will be running on Track 4 of the Times Square shuttle throughout the event. Get the full schedule of events here.
