Built in 1913, Grand Central Terminal is impressive even to New Yorkers, particularly the massive main hall with its cathedral-like vaulted ceiling. The building recently underwent a major restoration project, with chic new shops and a food court lending an air of urban charm. Not an easy feat for a railway station that is filled with a half million commuters each week. The bar at Michael Jordan's The Steak House overlooks the busy terminal. If you crave shellfish, dine at the legendary Oyster Bar. The station services outlying suburbs via the Metro-North Commuter Railroad.
