The Grand Grand Central

Everyday, thousands of New Yorkers commute or walk through Grand Central (at 42nd and Lexington), but they fail to appreciate and see its splendor and beauty. It's a very grandiose station, where Metro North Railway trains connect to different places in CT. Plenty of Connecticans who work in NYC drop by here everyday, and vice versa. I am one of the lucky ones who get to pass by it everyday on my commute to school and back.

I tried to capture how amazing it is this morning, after staying over at a friend's place in Astoria.
After picking up a cup of coffee and a piece of croissant for breakfast at 830am, we took the 7 train from Queens and I got off at Grand Central. These are photos of a New Yorker's early morning commute to work.

Notice the hustle and bustle.

Notice, too, how the I was able to capture people walking, as they pass by in a blur.

Here is my favorite passageway when walking in Grand Central: the Grand Central Market. It's got all sorts of food (sold at ridiculous prices): cheeses, desserts, meats, fruits, veggies, etc.

An ironic scenario: sashaying and doing a lah-di-dah, while everyone else was rushing and trying to catch something. :)
