Yes, I tested this out; there was a deli on 53rd that extended the passage to mid-block.
When the weather outside is "frightful" it is so "delightful" to get from point A to point B (if you know the (secret) passageways).
PS: Grand Central had more stuff that doesn't exist now--but they did add the track passageways getting as far north as 47th Street.
