After it debuted to the public in 1913, Grand Central Terminal had to open a “Kissing Room” — technically, the Biltmore Room — that allowed travelers to steal a sweet goodbye smooch from a loved one without clogging busy train platforms. In its heyday, the historic alcove, once tucked beneath the now-shuttered New York Biltmore Hotel, even featured a cheeky warning: “no kiss longer than five seconds. ” But after years hidden away, stuck behind construction walls, the Kissing Room — now located on the commuter hub’s main level, near the Grand Central Oyster Bay bar — is back in plain sight, and bigger than it once was.
