Saturday, January 18: Treasures of Grand Central
Being a New Yorker, you've no doubt raced through this terminal to catch a train once or twice—or a thousand times. But Grand Central Station is more than a place to get from point A to point B. Within this historical landmark lies countless treasures, many of which remain undiscovered to the large majority of passersby.
Special VIP and fellow NYC Urban Sketcher Judy Garza has worked as a tour guide at many icon institutions in the city, including Grand Central, and she's going to share some of these hidden gems with us, before we roll up our sleeves and sketch this iconic space.
DETAILS:
Where: The Main Concourse at Grand Central Station - Meet by east side of Clock at the Information Booth at the center of the terminal. The east side of the clock faces the stairs leading up to the Apple Store
When: Sketching start time: 10 AM
Judy's tour: 10:30 AM
