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 just to 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 savory Italian lunch at Cipriani Dolci.

Hello webmaster. Not totally agree with you, but you just gave me an idea for a new eBook regarding \”\”. It is related to best belgian truffles. Thanks.
@Peter Grievik, You’re welcome.
By the way, would be great if you can let me know when your eBook is finished. I’d like to read it.
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.
