I Love New York-3) Library Way

 Walking out of the grand central terminal, the New York Public Library's main branch, the Stephen  A. Schwarzman Building is just around the corner where you can reach by following the library way.  

Library Way is lined with a series of bronze plaques embedded in the sidewalk. Each plaque features a quote from a notable author or literary figure, celebrating the written word and literature. This unique installation creates a literary pathway that captures the spirit of learning, culture, and knowledge that both Grand Central Terminal and the New York Public Library represent.

The plaques are designed to pay homage to various authors and their contributions to literature, making the walk from Grand Central Terminal to the library an inspiring and thought-provoking experience. The quotes range from poetry to prose and are often in multiple languages, reflecting the diverse literary heritage of New York City and the world.

Library Way adds an artistic and intellectual dimension to the journey between these two iconic landmarks, reminding pedestrians of the value of literature and the power of words. It has become a popular attraction for both tourists and locals alike, offering a moment of reflection and inspiration in the midst of the bustling city.

On my walk to the Library, I also admired the architectures of the buildings I passed by.
