MTA Metro-North Railroad is the steward of Grand Central Terminal, which stands as one of America’s greatest transportation hubs and one of New York City’s most iconic buildings. It is both a national landmark and an international example of the success that can be achieved giving new life to a historic building that otherwise may have been destroyed. The Grand Central brand reflects the remarkable caliber of services in the Terminal, including boutique restaurants and cocktail lounges, a gourmet market, and many specialty shops. It draws more than 750,000 national and international visitors each day and wows them with its varied offerings and tour programs. Storied Vanderbilt Hall, once the waiting room for long- distance travelers, is among the most-desired public event spaces in the city.
This new website is the latest project for Natives, a problem-solving digital marketing agency in New York’s Long Island City neighborhood. In addition to Grand Central Terminal, Natives specializes in action-oriented websites, mobile apps, and marketing campaigns for similar tourism and trade brands both domestic and global.
