Expecting a crowded Metro North train? Check for cars *behind* the stairs/ramp - they're likely to be empty, even if the cars towards the front of the train are packed.
BKAugust 3, 2010Look up next time you're in Grand Central and look at the beautiful painted ceiling.They use to have a laser show which showed the constallations.
Pace UniversityOctober 15, 2010Want to take the train downtown... would you also like a seat??? Then take the 6 train...it's not as fast as the 4 or 5 but it will get you there.
It’s so crowded—it’s like Grand Central Station in there!
Debbie SchneiderFebruary 3, 2013Was passing by and knew it was the 100th celebration so I stopped got out and walked around very cool day at the GCT.
This is the most amazing train station in all of the U.S.
The railcar on track 61 is NOT FDR's private car for his Packard-this railcar was the tool car for a rail crane, and was retired in the late '80s...- Amaze your out-of-towner pals with the famed whispering gallery! http://www.localoaf.org/2006/12/30/grand-central-stations-hidden-acoustic-wonder/
There's a smaller "whispering gallery" on the Lexington Avenue side: fun for grownups and kids alike!
If you have to meet somebody, the clock is a good landmark to use- Its always crowded but it is still an experience being one of millions of people to go through this station
Paul JamelApril 10, 2013Go to the grand central market and go to Oren's coffee shop and get some good coffee beans
WiFi and clean bathroom (women's) located in the station master's office
Wanna see New York? Go to the balcony and just look down at all the people going different directions and places. An amazing jewel...
Ruth HeronemusNovember 9, 2011Check out the amazing new Vanderbilt tennis club on the 4th floor! Beautiful views!
King ReyesApril 21, 2015If ever you get lost using the subway, go to this station. There are info booths!!! 😁
Nothing beats coming up from the trains, in front of the Oyster Bar, and smelling the brine. Love it.
You have to check out the secret speakeasy called the Campbell Apartment--very cool hidden jem.
No matter how stealth you think your pedestrian skills are, DON'T text while traversing the main concourse!
Jeanne TappMarch 23, 2013standing in the center all I could think of were the YouTube flashmobs! Wonderful place

"It's an Apple Store and that speaks for itself. It's the largest Apple flagship store in NYC. The staff are friendly and helpful. Located in a great location; quite busy so pack your patience"

"Beautiful setting! Loved the oysters, not so much the mahi mahi. Oysters rockefeller not my jam. Would return for a simple meal of oysters and champagne/bloody mary. Live lobsters!"
Elizabeth Burstein - 8.2
"Great spot next to GCT for drinks, though a bit pricey. Ambience and service rock. Try the chicken quesadillas (tangy) and the truffle popcorn."
