Description
Many native New Yorkers or movie buffs have probably heard the famous phrase "meet me under the clock"; in New York this phrase refers to The Grand Central Clock, adorning the top of Grand Central Terminal's information booth located in the main concourse area.
Also called "The Grand Central Terminal Clock", this magnificent structure has starred in several movies throughout Hollywood history. It has also been used as the setting for marriage proposals, a background for artistic photo-ops and has appeared on numerous postcards. Grand Central Station is home to countless secret passageways, underground private tracks and secret staircases; one of these secret staircases is located directly below the circular information booth where this intriguing clock is situated. The staircase is a spiral-style structure hidden by a secret door and it leads directly to the information area on the lower level.
Created by the famous Connecticut clock crafting company known as Seth Thomas, the Grand Central Terminal Clock is valued between 10 and 20 million dollars.
