In this video we take a walk around the upper lever of Grand Central Terminal in New York City. Not only do you get to see the inside of Grand Central, but I also show you where the hidden staircase is inside the information booth, the hidden away elevators for those people with disabilities who need them. Unfortunately the elevators are tucked away but I show you where they are located. You can also see where you get the subway as well if you need it. NYC at its best.

And now some images from the video.
