Grand Central Terminal at night
I've written about Grand Central Terminal many times, and probably will again as long as I keep blogging. The first time I wrote about it was in 2009 and I used it for "G" in Blogging from A to Z in 2018. It's been one of my favorite spots in New York City since I moved here in 1975. Though I've never counted I've been here at least 2,500 times and probably closer to 5,000 times. When I was working our agency headquarters was in a building that connected to the Terminal and I was here for meetings for at least once a week for twenty years.
A typical non-rush hour moment at Grand Central
One of my favorite scenes at Grand Central are weddings/wedding photographs. I don't see them often, but every few years or so I look around and see someone in a bridal outfit and I'm mesmerized. I've also seen wedding photography sessions at the Philadelphia and Kansas City train stations. Those are fabulous sites, too.

The spring is lovely in New York this year. We've had beautiful weather and I'm reasonably sure that my down coat is put away until December. It's not quite shorts weather but it's getting there. The magnolias and the tulips are in bloom and just walking down the street is special with every walk.
As ever, thanks for visiting and hope your spring days hold moments to treasure.
Such lovely pink tulips. I planted some last fall in the front porch garden and they have broken the surface. I hope they wait to open until we return from our Roads Scholar trip to Greece. Departing tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI have never once been to Grand Central Station! I only see it in movies...I live in New York State, but have only been to the airports in NYC! I love reading your posts and seeing the sights there!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of Grand Central.
ReplyDeleteI would never have thought of taking wedding pictures in a train station, but hey, why not?
I agree, Carol, that GCT is a wonderful building and enjoyed seeing it again on my December 2025 visit to NYC.
ReplyDeleteYou get the best photos, Carol. They truly capture the essence of NYC. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely place, I can see why some would want to marry there. Such history in that old place! Those tulips are beautiful. It's always nice to see them arrive every spring ! Glad your weather is good there, some are still experiencing cold weather ! Happy Spring to you!
ReplyDeleteIn 1949 my high school band from Alabama was in New York and we were in Grand Central. Dragged out our instruments and gave the commuters a thrill.... well, I just hope it was a thrill not a bust!
ReplyDeleteThe tulips are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs.
ReplyDeleteThose pink tulips are beautiful.
All the best Jan

ReplyDeleteI've never been there so I appreciate the pictures.
ReplyDeleteMauve dresses are catastrophic for fat bridesmaids, they should have opted for black.
ReplyDeleteYou deserve a beautiful spring after your winter. This is such a gorgeous building!
ReplyDeleteI visited NYC for the first time a few years ago. I was excited to do the touristy thing and see Grand Central Station. It was pretty much empty so I got a lot of pictures.
ReplyDeleteLove the tulips!
