Grand Central Terminal is a quintessential New York experience, and the soaring roof and buzz of the crowds are a great way to grasp the energy that drives New York.  This is the world's largest train station, and its Beaux Arts architectural grandeur--modeled on an ancient Roman bath--is simply breathtaking. There are shopping galleries, a market with prepared and specialty foods, a downstairs food court and a choice of restaurants including the Oyster Bar, a Grand Central institution.
