Most people use Grand Central terminal to catch a train or tour one of New York's most awesome structures. I go to Grand Central to buy soup. That's because it's an easy one-stop subway ride away, and I get to taste the soup before I buy it. Today I stumbled upon the exhibit of Grand Central's 100 Birthday in the main concourse.
These ASK ME booths are so engaging! You press one of four buttons associated with a question, and a video of a real person starts talking to you like he's your best friend. When the exhibit isn't being engaged, the "person" is still in motion just kind of looking around waiting to be asked. The fact that this exhibit is so human--facing you, full size, casually posed and in motion--makes you stay there longer than you otherwise would. Surprisingly fun.
