Getting a tripod permit was the hardest part
How did you go about that, if I may ask? I know that all of NYC require them, but I guess Grand Central it would be really enforced, and possibly you need a separate one?
The 50 macro is one good lens, and if you factor in its age, size and price, it is a superb lens. Psych's clock picture shows nicely its application scope.....not just for macro photography. Perhaps some day Canon will update it (and double the price, as that usually goes).
However, there is also very excellent EF-S 60 f/2.8 Macro.....that is also one of those lenses I wish I hadn't sold.

Nice shots. Just a suggestion, when using a TS lens try to get your vertical lines straight. I don't know how much time you had to compose the shots.
They sure look straight to me. They also look vertical. They also look non-converging (not tilting), which is what you were probably trying to say. To what are you referring exactly and which shot(s) are flawed and how?

#1 diverges going up and #3 are not perpendicular. I admit it's nitpicking, but I know it would bother me after I processed them.
I see, thanks. I think #1 has an optical illusion that makes it appear to diverge, but I haven't put a grid over it. I see now the slight lack of perpendicularity of #3 (for example at the very top).
Come to think of it, I don't even think that would be noticeable in live view on the back screen. I would guess that a laptop setup would be needed to tether. This would give a nice big display to check on site just like a view camera.
