You'll enter the station building and be awed by the majestic architecture. At the top of the information centre is the famous four-sided bronze clock, valued at over $10 million.
In the main concourse of Grand Central Terminal, you can gaze at the 2,500-star mural painted on the ceiling. A curious fact is that almost the entire design is upside down due to an error by the artists.
You'll pass through the Vanderbilt waiting room and also admire the building's impressive façade.
You'll discover the Campbell Apartment, a bar located in the terminal, which offers classic New York cocktails and light fare.
At Grand Central Market you'll find a variety of places to eat. Inside the building there are also several exquisite restaurants such as the Kissing Room and the Whispering Gallery.
