Hidden Bus Station At The Carter Hotel In NYC
Talk about a blast from the past! Inside the Carter Hotel, an arguably dilapidated hotel in the Big Apple’s Times Square, lies a nearly century-old bus station, hidden in plain sight.
It was built sometime in the 1930s when the Carter Hotel was known as the Dixie, and the Central Union Bus Terminal was built partly underground.
After going below ground level, buses would rotate on a 35ft turntable and then proceed into a pre-established berth, describes Scouting New York.
Today it’s just a parking garage, but if you want to explore below this famous landmark, you’ll still be able to find that old turntable.
