Every day between 5.30am and 1.30am, about a half a million of people pass through Grand Central Station located at East 42nd Street and Park Avenue. Opened in 1913, it’s one of the most beautiful and original railway stations in the world. I’ve always been fascinated by airports and railway stations and Grand Central Station is one of the better, if not the best. Even if you don’t have any travel plans, you can come here to just admire the building – the beauty of the place is a real contrast to the busy atmosphere.
The shops in Grand Central Station range from health and beauty to clothes and accessories. Apart from Aveda, Origins and L’ Occitane in Lexington Passage, I love Penzeys Spices and Li-Lac Chocolate in Grand Central Market. Their chocolate is expensive, but one or two hand-dipped truffles are just enough to satisfy the occasional chocolate craving.
Don’t miss a walking tour though the terminal or book a private guided tour through Grand Central’s website.
Before leaving, stop by The Campbell Apartment at Vanderbuilt 15. I can also recommend a savoury Italian lunch at Cipriani Dolci.

I admired this week the Grand Central Railwaystation in New York. Beautiful. Indeed. But not the most beautiful in the world.
Please go to Antwerp, go to the Central Station and I am sure, you will say, this Station is much more beautiful!, this Antwerp Station is really the most beautiful one. The exterior as well as the interior.

@Wim Pas, Thanks for the suggestion. Once I have visited Antwerp I will make sure to take a photo of the central station and post it here.
