Grand Central’s birth was the result of a tragic accident. On January 8, 1902, a commuter train traveling from suburban Westchester County crashed into another train waiting in the station’s entrance tunnel killing 15 passengers. An inquiry revealed that the noxious clouds emanating from the steam engines had blinded it’s drivers thus resulting in the accident. Sensing the shift in the political winds the Vanderbilt family announced plans to construct a new state of the art station that would utilize electricity not steam. The station was completed in February 1, 1913. Today, it is one of the most visited tourist attractions garnering over 23 million visitors a year. #details

10/10 Excellent

"Best place in NYC to stay!"

Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great experience with Sheraton NYC at Times Square, the only concern was the cigarette odor coming inside my room from the neighbor room even my wondows was completely close, i believed since there is a option to open the window tightly then people easily blowing the smoke out if their room and that was thevreason i had the cigarette smell inside my room. I hope they can plug the windows so that will never happen"
