This is an amazing building, but you'll miss a lot of the hidden gems if you try to explore it yourself. There are two different tour options: Wednesdays at 12:30 through the Municipal Arts Society ($10/person) or Fridays at 12:30 through the Grand Central Partnership (free). We took the Friday tour which meets at the Sculpture Court of the Whitney... more

This is a wonderfully beautiful place and you keep having to remind yourself that it's a train station. Check out the Campbell Apartment bar (just for a look) and then head downstairs to the Oyster Bar and the hidden bar behind it. Then, just walk around and take in the beauty of the place. Really not to be missed. more

Each time we go to New York we seem to get drawn back to Grand Central - it has that certain something.

This building is impressive and beautiful. It felt good standing in the most famous train terminal in the world. The main concourse is a pleasure to behold. And the painting of the constellations on the ceiling is mind blowing. On the lower level there were many many food outlets. The seating also in this level looked extremely comfortable. I've never... more

It is a beautiful building and well worth a visit on your tour around Manhattan. The restoration had been done with attention to detail. more

The day it was on our itinerary it happened to be raining so it was a perfect place to peruse around at the architectural detail and also people watch. It is such a beautiful building. In the main terminal, the ceiling has constellations painted... more

Walked around the main terminal area, took some pics, went to check out the food + used the restroom - not that exciting but the best part was the Whispering Gallery just outside the Oyster Bar - that was COOL! Stand on opposite ends of the domed arches and whisper (or talk) into the wall and the person standing on... more

We visited Grand Central and decided to take the tour. The tour was supposed to be of Grand Central Terminal but instead it was of the streets surrounding it. The last 5 minutes of the tour was inside Grand Central. This was the most boring tour I took in my life. I felt like I was taking a history class.... more
