Three railroad workers have been suspended for turning a storage room under New York�s Grand Central Terminal into an unauthorized �man cave� with a television, a refrigerator, a microwave and a futon couch, officials said Thursday.
A Metropolitan Transportation Authority investigation found that managers at Metro-North Railroad were unaware of the hideaway beneath Track 114.
�Many a New Yorker has fantasized about kicking back with a cold beer in a prime piece of Manhattan real estate � especially one this close to good transportation,� MTA Inspector General Carolyn Pokorny said in a news release. �But few would have the chutzpah to commandeer a secret room beneath Grand Central Terminal.�
Three Metro-North employees � a wireman, a carpenter foreman and an electrical foreman � were suspended without pay pending disciplinary hearings.

The investigation began after the MTA�s office of the inspector general received an anonymous tip in February 2019 alleging that there was a �man cave� under Grand Central with �a couch and a flat screen t.v.� where three specific employees would �hang out and get drunk and party.�
Investigators found the room, which had wooden cabinets designed to conceal the TV and futon, according to the report.
Railroad officials said the space presented a fire hazard because rescue workers would have had difficulty accessing an unmapped room.
