How Do You Explore New Yorks Grand Central Terminal?
If you think Grand Central Terminal is just a stop on your way into the city, or a place to wait for a late train, think again. The majestic Terminal, which opened its doors in 1913, has always been a jewel in the crown of Manhattan. Today, you can take historic tours, eat at some of the city’s finest dining establishments, and shop to your heart’s content without leaving the station. Heck, you might want to miss your train on purpose! Take a free 90-minute walking tour of Grand Central and the surrounding neighborhood, run by the Grand Central Partnership. The tour, which takes place only on Fridays at 12:30 p.m., meets in the Sculpture Court of the Whitney Museum at Altria on East 42nd Street, across from Grand Central. For more information about the tour, call (212) 883-2420 or visit the Grand Central Partnership website (see Resources below). Every Wednesday at 12:30 p.m., you can take the Grand Central tour run by the Municipal Arts Society. Meet the tour guide at Grand Central’s
