Deets: Grand Central is about to become the one place in New York where landing on Atlantic Avenue might be a good thing. From October 2–4, a life-sized Monopoly gameboard will take over Vanderbilt Hall, giving commuters and visitors a chance to roll oversized dice, walk the board and try their luck without arguing over who gets to be the little silver dog.
The free pop-up comes from Visit Atlantic City, whose hometown supplied the street names on the classic American Monopoly board. The walkable installation will feature spaces devoted to Atlantic City’s Boardwalk, casino resorts, restaurants, entertainment and arts scene, along with destination-themed game pieces.
There will be photo opportunities throughout the board and Mr. Monopoly is scheduled to appear in person (or, at least, in top hat and mustache). Visitors can also enter giveaways and compete for Atlantic City-themed prizes, including merchandise and saltwater taffy. One bag of taffy will contain a golden piece and, according to the organizers, the first player to find it wins an Atlantic City Grand Prize Getaway Package.
Hint for the Average Socialite: This event is open to the public.
