THE Meeting Place

meeting placeThe Clock above the circular information kiosk in the center of the waiting area of Grand Central Terminal.  This spot is often chosen as a designated meeting place.  On any day you may encounter people with a louche air about them, trying not to look as if they feel out of place, as they check out every person who passes by or hesitates.  Of course you can’t wait under the clock, just in the vicinity, but you see it above the crowd as a homing point.
