ALMOST THERE - 42nd street grand central
The subway may open 24 hours a day, but some of the exits do not! As I do research on the last station of my second batch at the 42nd Street Grand Central Station, I realize quite a few exits open to the inside of office buildings, and they only open on weekdays, during office hours:

Once I am done with Grand Central, the remaining tasks are organizing and formatting. My goal is to do my second launch - with 5 new images - on or before Cyber Monday, 30 Nov. Stay tuned!
GETTING STARTED
I am an architect, so I am no stranger to surveying spaces from scratch. Still, it would be great to have something to base my drawings off of. To begin my quest, I went into the stations to look for the maps that tell you where the exits are. They look like this:
And so I thought alright, I’ll just have to go to each station to take a picture of the map. And then I thought, is there a chance these maps are online? So I went home and did a quick search and bam! Here they are:
Find all neighborhood maps like this one at http://web.mta.info/maps/neighborhood_maps.htm
They are called “neighborhood maps” under “maps” in mta.info.
They are neither editable nor printable, but a quick print-screen will do. With them, I am ready to go out and take some actions!
