- 89 East 42nd Street, Midtown
- 1913 Beaux-Arts terminal
- Main concourse with celestial ceiling
- Oyster Bar, Grand Central Market
Grand Central Terminal has held 42nd Street since 1913 — the Warren and Wetmore concourse with the celestial ceiling, the four-faced clock at the centre, the Oyster Bar in the lower-level vaults, the Whispering Gallery at the entrance to the dining concourse. The format is the most architecturally complete transportation terminal in the world and the visit is the city walk that ends at the lunch.
Walk the concourse at the late morning when the rush has cleared, take the Whispering Gallery for the acoustic, lunch at the Oyster Bar on the counter. The address is the right answer for the midtown day that wants the architecture without the gallery commitment.
The terminal the city walks through.
