Grand Central covers 48 acres and has 44 platforms, more than any other railroad station in the world. Its platforms, all below ground, serve 30 tracks on the upper level and 26 on the lower. Besides that, this place was featured in movies and TV series. Take advantage of the food court in the lower level.

TIP: A lot of people don't know about The Campbell. This bar is located inside Grand Central and pays homage to the legacy of John W. Campbell, a Jazz Age financier who converted the space to his private office and reception hall in 1923. The Campbell showcases many of the thirteenth century Florentine-inspired design intricacies that upheld its legendary allure, including soaring, 25-foot hand painted ceilings, a grand stone fireplace, Campbell’s personal steel safe, a century-old leaded glass window and original millwork.
