Named here by Grand Central Terminal’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Grand Central Terminal, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

“Grand Central Terminal's architecture, including its Main Concourse clock, are depicted on the stage of Saturday Night Live, a long-running NBC television show.” Wikipedia
Drawn from this place
Productions whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Grand Central Terminal as a real place their setting was modelled on. Nothing was filmed here and no story happens here: somebody drew it from here. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, which is why it sits under its own heading, and each production’s page links the article the claim came from.
