Secret 'Man Cave' Discovered Beneath Grand Central Station

Cut these guys a break! This is the best idea ever and they got caught. Three Metro-North Railroad employees were suspended after Metropolitan Transportation Authority investigators discovered they'd created a “man cave,” complete with a flat-screen television and a beer-stocked refrigerator, in a storage room beneath Grand Central Terminal in New York.The air-conditioned room came complete with microwave, workout equipment, and hide-a-way beds, MTA Inspector General Carolyn Pokorny said Thursday. “Many a New Yorker has fantasized about kicking back with a cold beer in a prime piece of Manhattan real estate — especially one this close to good transportation,” Pokorny said. “But few would have the chutzpah to commandeer a secret room beneath Grand Central Terminal and make it their very own man-cave, sustained with MTA resources, and maintained at our riders’ expense.” The room, located beneath Track 114 at Grand Central, was discovered behind a locked door inside a storage room after MTA investigators were tipped to its existence by an anonymous tip about a spot where Metro-North employees "hang out and get drunk and party. "When investigators questioned employees about the room, they were told it contained “sensitive supplies.” It had once been used to store locksmith supplies.
