GRAND CENTRAL

GRAND CENTRAL

Beaux-Arts grandeur at 42nd Street — the vaulted celestial ceiling, arched windows, the main concourse at rush hour. Most associated with Gossip Girl and countless films. Best on weekday mornings before 10am when the famous light shafts are strongest and crowds thinnest. Clean, architectural, and timeless.
