Yesterday, two friends and I ventured to Grand Central Terminal to see the photo exbibit “Dear New York .”

The terminal was mobbed with commuters, tourists, demonstators from the No Kings demonstration and I made a quick exit to The Transit Museum Gallery located in a quiet corner of the terminal.

The skylight above the escalators bring more light into the terminal

Nothing makes me happier than being in the grand main terminal

The pillars had new views

Outside the Transit Museum Gallery, a demonstator taking his politics to the terminal

Transportation Cartoons

Commentary on the Commute

Many of the cartoons are over a century old.

Great transit map!

Commute: A Century of The New Yorker’s Transportation Cartoons. Showcasing work from 57 artists, the exhibit includes a selection of cartoons and covers from The New Yorker whose subjects should be familiar to anyone who has ever taken public transportation: the uniqueness of New Yorkers, the challenges of the commute, the daily sea of humanity (and critters) that move through the region, and the grittiness and the grandeur that is New York. On view now through October.
