5. Secrets Beneath Grand Central Station
Beneath the bustling Grand Central Station in New York City, hidden realms await discovery. The renowned Waldorf Astoria hotel, perched above the rail lines, boasts a secret train platform crafted in 1929. Originally designed for the convenience of celebrities seeking discreet entry, this hidden platform allowed VIPs, including President Franklin Roosevelt, to arrive without attracting attention.
While the platform fell into disuse over the years and was closed to the public, the train itself still resides beneath the hotel, a silent witness to the glamour and intrigue of a bygone era. Additionally, the underground Vanderbilt tennis club, owned by none other than Donald Trump, offers a glimpse into an exclusive subterranean world accessible to those who can afford its luxurious ambiance.
