Uncovering hidden tennis court in Grand Central

NEW YORK

If you can find the elevator by /*Vanderbilt Avenue*/, and take it to the fourth floor, you will find the hidden court.

While the spot is amazing, it also has a history - it all started way back when two tennis courts were built at the location.

The MTA later reclaimed some of that space, leaving behind enough room for a new court, as well as new practice courts, located on the 5th floor. The courts use a ball machine that is equipped with a retrieval system that allow for constant play.

There is even a small gym, however the attraction is the main court.

Dorothy Sidanbarom plays every day, and says she feels like it is her own private court.

"It's my passion – it's amazing," she said.

Imagine all of those people going places outside and down below while you are playing – it is by far one of the most unique tennis courts.

No membership is needed to play, but an hour costs $80 and up.
