Now boarding: Grand Central Terminal’s ice rink

Post reporter Amber Sutherland gets ready to take the ice in Grand Central.

All aboard – the giant ice rink!

A rink was opened in the century-old Grand Central Terminal’s Vanderbilt Hall.

A Post reporter became the first person to put on a pair of skates and glide over the 5,000 pounds of synthetic surface before straphangers watched a Disney On Ice performance.

Sue Seifman, 62, of Murray Hill caught the show while going to Grand Central Station to purchase bread, and said she was a little surprised to see ice-skating. “You never know what you will find,” she said.

Josephine Hoemark, 22, an au pair from Sweden, said her host family’s four-year-old child Rye loved watching the skating. “It was perfect,” she said, adding that it was also easy to get to the transportation hub to watch the show.

Steven Yaros, a regional vice president for Feld Entertainment which organized the performance, said the company picked Grand Central so they could expose the 300,000 people who use the station everyday to the Disney On Ice performance.

“It’s an iconic location in the heart of the city,” he said.
