Grand Central Station is one of New York City’s most know landmarks within the giant concrete jungle. Built by French architects the station opened 1913. When I visited the station back in 2010 I actually was pretty underwhelmed with what I was walking into. Yes, the building itself was very nice, but I don’t remember spending more than 20 minutes there, because after all even though it is one of NYC’s most visited tourists attractions, at the end of the day it is still just a train station for commuters.
