"In our book, Grand Central is the one must-see for anyone who's ever stepped foot in New York. But beyond the majestic Tiffany clock, the soaring vaulted ceiling of the grand hall and the beautifully integrated Apple store, there are cute little gift shops, a swanky cocktail lounge (the Campbell Apartment) and an amazing food market tucked inside (Grand Central Market)." - Marcelo Cardoso
"Grand Central Terminal is more than just one of the busiest train stations in the world—it's a window into old New York and into a time when train travel was the ultimate luxury for the wealthy and a necessity for the working man. If you aren't commuting in or out of the city, avoid coming during rush hour, and take your time admiring the landmark architecture and checking out the top-notch dining and shopping." - Melissa Liebling-Goldberg, Alex Erdekian
