Grand Central Terminal

I will defend the statement that public transportation in the United States pales in comparison to its fellow developed nations, but Grand Central Terminal is one of those places that makes me happy to use NY public transportation.
It's an architectural marvel less iconic than the Empire State Building, but so much more aesthetic. The food options within and nearby are tempting. The staff are approachable & know their stuff.

Grand Central Station is a more than a train stop for its railroad visitors. This beaux-arts designed structure with its travertine arches, terrazzo floors, and brass clocks are absolutely beautiful. My personal favorite is the main concourse's ceiling mural of the zodiac star constellations. Visiting here is literally like stepping into a palace or cathedral.

This Midtown Manhattan transportation hub is a distinguished and recognizable NYC icon with a colorful and tumultuous history whose existence was threatened many times, but lucky for us still stands today for its function is unquestionable. Plus, today we can continued to be in awe by its beauty.

Beautiful train station! Architecture is elegant and very well designed! Very busy with lots to see. There are plenty of restaurants inside. I especially enjoy stopping to watch some of the performers every now and again.

Great land mark! Beautiful to see we stopped in just to get out of the NY heat! Didn't realize the scale of the inside. There is a small Cipriani restaurant, about 20 tables and a cute bar. Great place to have a few drinks. Restrooms were clean.

Awe inspiring. Every time we visit Grand Central it a treat for the eyes and for the mind. The massiveness of the space is impressive. The cleanliness of the space is beyond impressive, considering the number of people that walk through this building every day. The staff are beyond helpful, and the amenities are vast and unique. A MUST visit when in NYC!
