Can we get an "amen" here? Tourists and New Yorkers with no sense of direction alike will benefit greatly from newly implemented compass-like decals placed on sidewalks where riders emerge from the MTA's dank caverns in Midtown. Streetwise passengers can find solace in not being stuck behind a mass of confused, head-scratching, walk-blocking lost souls. The city of New York's transportation agency and the Grand Central Partnership are currently testing out the wayfinding system to determine if something more permanent would be appropriate.

Four decals have been installed. Besides the one on 42nd Street near Third, decals have been placed on the west side of Lexington Avenue between 42nd Street and 43rd Street, adjacent to Grand Central; on the south side of 51st Street between Lexington Avenue and Park Avenue; and on the south side of 53rd Street between Madison Avenue and Park Avenue.
