Review:
Grand Central Terminal is home to the most railroad platforms in the world, spanning 48 acres within Manhattan's Midtown neighborhood. The world-renowned station is one of New York's most beautiful preserved landmarks, originally constructed as Grand Central Depot in 1871 and remodeled into its current iteration in 1913. Since the 1960s, the Beaux Arts-style terminal has been protected as a New York City landmark, housing operations today for the commuter Metro-North Railroad. Visitors can explore the stunning terminal's ornate architecture for free, including its expansive Main Concourse and iconic design elements by Henry Edward Bedford and Jules-Félix Coutan. Many shops and restaurants are housed within the terminal, along with a branch of the New York Transit Museum.
