We popped to Grand Central while passing as we had a huge itinerary for the day, had I realised just how much there was to see and do here it would have been allocated more time. The station is huge over a few levels, I am not sure how many. When you go into the main concourse you see the scale of the building and the amazing architecture. There is plenty to see and do here to explore for a couple of hours without even getting on a train! If I visit NY again I will return and spend more time there, the most beautiful and amazing station I have ever seen.

This well-known landmark is not only an efficient and picturesque train terminal, but is also a famous movie set, tourist attraction and place of fantastic sights, smells and sounds. Seeing hockey fans in the fall, workers traveling to and from and tourists, this is a people-watching paradise. You really must go.

So glad this iconic structure was saved by a celebrity in the 1990s. She used her status and connections to have a necessary major restoration done. Home to Metro-North Railroad, this is my go-to terminal when needing a cultural fix. It truly is a gateway in exploring the Big Apple. Staff is friendly and efficient.

Grand Central never disappoints. It’s beauty & function, hand in hand. Take a few minutes to bring your kids to the Whispering Walls on the lower level by the Oyster Bar & Restaurant. Stand facing diagonal corners of the archways & whisper to each other. Kids find it mystifying.

A group of 3 couples took the tour over the MLK weekend, Our guide Luis was very energetic and enthusiastic presenter. You can imagine how difficult it must be to run a tour through the hustle and bustle of Grand Cental Station. All on the tour were given ear pieces so we were able to hear Luis over the background noise. The tour gives a great history lesson of this iconic building. Who knew there was a tennis court in this building? The tour is scheduled for 90 minutes, but Luis asked if were all OK to go another 15 minutes so he could cover all the material. (Nice) My only issue was the manner in which the historical photos were presented, Luis showed the pictures that were in a three ring binder in protective plastic, Uploaded these photos to laptop would make the pictures much easier to view.

As abuilding it its own right this is a wonder but in effect the central hall is basically a cathedral for the railway age. It is incredible that they contemplated knocking it down and redeveloping with a skyscraper on top. The marble is wonderful and the ceiling is superb. Our guide pointed out the dirty spot that they left to indicate what it was like before the restoration.

The Grand Central Terminal is a hub of landmark architecture, top-notch dining, shopping and of course a bustling train station. I went for the architectural gawking and picked my visiting time in late morning when commuters were at a minimum. I spent most of my time at the Grand Central admiring the features of this Beaux-Art building and the astronomical ceiling depicting a 2500-star Mediterranean sky above the Grand's Main Concourse. So much more than a train station.

...a long-time local who is passionate about his Subject and sharing it with his Charges. His friendly, energetic and infectious style will hold your interest as he relates the history of this beautiful and glorious piece of American Gilded Age architecture. Actually, his is the only tour I've ever taken twice, now and a year ago while on vacation to NYC. There's a lot of history, interesting facts, and much to see and hear on his tour. Don't miss it!

Now with the opening of the new LIRR section, Grand Central is a more convenient transportation hub than ever. This new section, at some 14 stories below the main hall, now offers easier ride to JFK airport from Midtown East. The original structure is certainly an architectural masterpiece. The new section is a nice addition to it.

Fascinating rail terminal. Absolutely huge. Old section is like a museum. New section FIFTEEN stores down is ultra modern. Nice food court. Whole place does lack seating.
