DOES GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL HAVE LOCKERS?
Grand Central Terminal no longer offers lockers due to increased security measures taken following the Sept. 11th attacks.
However, there are still many different options to consider near the station.
One of the best ways to store your luggage is by using a storage-sharing service.
These companies will typically offer several different locations nearby where you can drop off your bags before heading to Grand Central Terminal.
Alternatively, you can also have your storage picked up and held for you with a mobile storage provider.
