Highlights

The NYC landmark, Grand Central Terminal, is one of the most famous stations in the world and a must see for anyone visiting New York! Replacing two previous railroad stations, Grand Central Terminal opened in 1913. The construction of the terminal spurred an entire real estate boom. It lead to creations of many famous hotels and landmarks such as the Chrysler Building – directly across the street.

After an attempt to tear down the terminal, Jacqueline Kennedy rallied to its defence in 1968, saving the terminal from an untimely death that the Pennsylvania Station experienced. The extensive restoration includes many new shopping options as well as a fully stocked food court in the lower level.

The Grand Central Terminal Official Tour takes visitors through many areas of the station including the world famous ‘backward” astronomical ceiling. Its massive cathedral-like construction features constellations painted in gold leaf. Other features of the tour include the infamous Information Booth Clock, Whispering Gallery, Biltmore Room, Oyster Bar and more. The Great Central Market Retail Food Court feature many local and national vendors selling, treats, gourmet ingredients, lunch, pastries and more.
