If you have ever seen an Apple Store opening you will know that it is a frenzy of excited technologists and creative people filling the streets and queuing for miles to celebrate a new opportunity to get their Apple gadgets at a location hopefully closer to where they live (I’m discounting the absolute fanboys who travel miles to attend a shop opening…for social reasons)
Well it looks like there will be a new Apple Store opening up in the heart of Grand Central Terminal.
It’s one thing for Fifth Ave. to get clogged up each time a new iPhone or iPad gets released, but Grand Central Terminal? Avid NYC commuters best plan their vacation days accordingly, as one of the city’s biggest transit hubs is about to get a heck of a lot more busy — and not because White Plains is the new Southampton. The New York Post is reporting that Apple and the MTA have agreed on a decade-long deal that’ll see a 23,000-square foot Apple Store take the place of Charlie Palmer’s Metrazur restaurant, with Cupertino’s rent to be set at $800,000 per year (rising to $1 million after ten years pass). For those curious, that’s around $500,000 more than the eatery before it, and Apple’s responsible for refurbishing the space. That cacophony of voices you hear? Touristy cheers drowning out local jeers.
