A unique vending machine has taken Grand Central Terminal, in New York, by storm, offering visitors a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

The machine dispenses surprise art prints featuring iconic New York City imagery, such as the terminal's famous clock, the city's skyline and even a classic MetroCard, according to a PIX 11 report.

The vending machine, which has quickly become a social media sensation, has drawn long lines of people eager to purchase a print. The affordable price of just a few dollars has made it a popular attraction for both tourists and locals.

The artist behind the project, Ana Inciardi, has seen her vending machine concept gain significant popularity in recent years. Inspired by a tattoo vending machine she encountered in Brooklyn, Inciardi has expanded her business to include locations across the U.S.
