FROZEN

Youtube video from Improv Everywhere
This is another Improv Everywhere stunt. On a cold Saturday in New York City, the world’s largest train station came to a sudden halt. Over 200 Improv Everywhere Agents froze in place at the exact same second for five minutes in the Main Concourse of Grand Central Station.

GRAND CENTRAL INFORMATION STATION CLOCK


The ultimate meeting place in New York is Grand Central's Information Booth at the center of the concourse. At the top of this booth is one of the most recognizable icons of Grand Central, the four-faced clock. Each of the four clock faces are made from opal. Both Sotheby's and Christie's have estimated the value to be between US$10 million and US$20 million.

KALEIDOSCOPE LIGHT SHOW at GRAND CENTRAL STATION





These are snapshots of the breath-taking Kaleidoscope Light Show at Grand Central Terminal's main concourse which I took on December 1. The walls of the Main Concourse of the train station are transformed with bursts of colored lights and sound into a popular holiday spectacle. The choreographed audiovisual shows run every half hour from 11 AM through 9 PM daily until January 1st.

CIRCLES - VANDERBILT HALL CHANDELIER

The last time I was at GRAND CENTRAL STATION, I made this photo of one of the five original gold chandeliers hanging from the 48-foot ceiling of VANDERBILT HALL, adjacent to the main concourse. The lights of the chandeliers can be modified to glimmer or shine to create the ambiance desired. The magnificent chandelier complements the Tennessee pink marble floors. Vanderbilt Hall used to be the waiting room of Grand Central Station. It now serves as a setting for grand events such as product launch, shopping place for holiday gifts, fashion show, exhibit, corporate function, fundraiser or wedding. Built in 1913, Vanderbilt Hall was restored in 1998.
