One of the most famous buildings in the world – and surely the most famous railroad station – was opened on February 2, 1913.  We at PC TECH are very fortunate in that we are almost next-door neighbors (only little Vanderbilt Avenue separates our buildings).   There is a direct connection with Grand Central Terminal through an underground concourse so that it is easy to come to class from the MetroNorth train or from any subway line in New York City.

A year of celebration began on Friday, February 1, with band performances, celebrity visits, and a real treat: a number of food items sold at 1913 prices, including 5¢ coffee!  The only problem was the long lines waiting for these bargain snacks.

Throughout this year there will be many events commemorating the Terminal’s anniversary.

Many popular expressions with English learners include phrasal verbs; for example…

The train broke down before it reached Grand Central.

It’s difficult to calm down after walking through the large crowd.

Do you want to get away for the weekend?

Grand Central will kick off the big celebration with a special ceremony.
