    On this virtual talk and tour, we’ll explore the history of transportation in New York from the early horse and carriage to the way New Yorkers commute locally and to the suburbs. At the end, you’ll know if you wish to include it on your NYC itinerary, and how much time to spend there on your self-guided experience. The story of Grand Central Terminal is a remarkable architectural wonder and a must see for over 21 million visitors each year. Hear how the building was almost demolished, who saved it and how, and what renovations have taken place over the past 100 years. Next, we’ll take our virtual tour together as we visit each area so you can see the secrets of Grand Central and know where they are when you visit the building on your own. You’ll see the famous clock, incredible ceiling, and hear the stories behind each of them. You’ll know why the main concourse was used as a WW II spy training site, and see the locations made famous in movies shown around the world and more.

    This was totally fascinating! Kitt's narrative is incredibly interesting and broadly informative. I love how she gave not only the history of Grand Central and surrounding area, but also insight on recent changes and developments, to bring the listener full circle. Her photos - especially the older ones - are lots of fun. And the way she circles and arrows specific sites allows the watcher to feel grounded and know exactly what she's talking about and what to look for when visiting. I highly recommend!

    Many tours exist on the internet about Grand Central, but few offer the in depth, myth busting, well presented timeline in beautiful visuals, accurate history as Kitt Garret’s does. Kitt is a true NYC treasure to tourism and these presentations created by her are another fine example.

    I just finished watching Kitt Garret’s virtual presentation of The Story Behind Grand Central Terminal. It’s a wonderful and informative tale of this exquisite terminal. I’ve lived in New York for most of my adult life and wasn’t aware of so much about this beauty from its humble beginning to the gracious terminal it has become. I will never walk through Grand Central Station again without taking the time to look up or look around at the large and small wonders of this building. Maribeth Kraus
