Port Authority Bus Terminal At Night: Like You’ve Never Seen It Before!

The Port Authority Bus Terminal is one of the last vestiges of 1980s design in New York City, but is soon to be remade as another slick, minimalist, Apple store-like space. John Oliver described it as “the single worst place on Earth.” At rush hour it might just feel that way. By night, however, the crowds clear out and the place becomes strangely serene. And for the intrepid explorer, the terminal has many surprises waiting to be discovered, including a sculptural installation by a celebrated pop artist, a gigantic whale mural that is simultaneously two blocks long and nearly hidden, and a colorful outdoor “room” with a light installation that is best viewed at night. Join tour guide Patrick Waldo for a rare nighttime look at Midtown’s most under-appreciated and misunderstood landmark, before its ‘80s charm is lost forever.
