Three MTA tradesmen allegedly boozed, napped and watched TV inside a secret “man cave” built below the tracks at Grand Central Terminal, according to the MTA’s internal watchdog.

Investigators discovered the lounge — complete with futon, flat-screen, microwave and refrigerator — behind a plasterboard wall in an unused locksmith shop below Track 114, in the station’s lower level, according to a report by MTA Inspector General Carolyn Pokorny set to be released Thursday.

“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,” Pokorny said.

“Few would have the chutzpah to commandeer a secret room beneath Grand Central Terminal.”

Hilarious!! Bwahaha!!

I kind of envy them in a way. It's always been a fantasy of mine, to have a secret lounge area where I can get away from my co-workers and boss for a little bit.

Since they were MTA workers what are the chances they were either claiming OT and/or disability while inside playing video games and napping?

EDIT: Did I say were? They probably still are employed thanks to the union.

Let's bet that's not the only one.

Many people make secret rooms at their jobs.
Many years ago, I worked at a David Barton. There was a secret "sex" room.

I love it its like a frat boy bat cave. I wonder if they had a secret password or handshake also.

George Costanza would be proud. After all morning of doing nothing, lunch!

Sounds like the break room at my last job.

Such an overblown story. A few workers put in a couch, TV, fridge and wired up internet inside a stock room

No big deal to me unless they were watching TV or drinking while on the clock. If it was outside of their shift who cares

Yah maybe they didn't want to go home to their wives and kids and chilled there instead

It wouldn't surprise me if it was on the clock. The amount of OT hours that a lot of MTA/LIRR/MTN/NJT employees book aren't humanly possible.
