Grand Central Terminal, New York

While visiting NYC recently, I opted to use the Metro system to get around because it's easy, affordable and fast. On my many stops throughout the boroughs, I constantly came to Grand Central Station and I found it to be one of the most iconic metro station I've ever visited around the world. Grand Central Station is not just a train stop but an adventure, a walk through history; it is an experience. The architecture, painted main course ceiling and cathedral like train station is nothing short of amazing and I found it to be more impressive in person than what you see in the movies. The iconic Tiffany clock was smaller than I imagined but there are no points deducted for that. Inside Grand Central Station you will find nearly a hundred shops and restaurants. On one of my many stops I decided to have lunch at Cipriani Dolci. This restaurant overlooks the main concourse and it was relaxing and allowed me time to really appreciate the people, the history and the view. Now onto the train station itself in terms of transportation, everything is well planned from the signage to the layout. If you have any questions, there is an information desk at the main concourse and they are very friendly and knowledgeable. The station is impeccably clean and well lit. There is plenty of security but you don't notice them because they are overshadowed by the all encompassing grandeur. My review cannot fully express how epic Grand Central Station is, this is something you have to experience in person. From the architecture, the shops, the history, the realness and obviously the transportation, you must visit Grand Central Station to understand how impressive it is. To the New Yorkers who get the opportunity to travel through this piece of history everyday, I say don't take it for granted. This is a true gem in the heart of NYC! #newyork #newyorkcity #unitedstatesofamerica #us #usa #usatravel #nyclandmarks #urbanexplore #cityoverlook#europeanarchitecture#historicculture#themeparks#culturalattractions#themepark#nationalpark
