The Cool Things I See in New York City

Grand Central Terminal is unique enough on its own to be pretty awe-inspiring when you walk through it. The ceiling alone is jaw dropping, and will most definitely cause you to bump into a few angry commuters (I’m sorry). But when I was passing through GC last week on my way to Park Ave. I came across something so beyond cool that I had to chronicle it for you all – The J.P. Morgan Tournament of Champions Squash.

We also have a whole mess of wreaths and hanging thingies and a gigantic menorah. Multicultural! And let’s not forget the plethora of Christmas music playing over the lobby speakers, including, but not limited to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas.” Seriously, if there is a heaven, this would be it.
