100 Years Grand

By Linda Tancs

Arguably the nation’s most famous terminal, New York City’s Grand Central Station turns 100 this year.  Completed in 1913, the Beaux-Arts landmark is one of the most shutterbug friendly sites in the city.  You can celebrate the grand dame’s heyday with a model train exhibit at the New York Transit Museum Gallery Annex at Grand Central.  Better hurry, though, the exhibit ends on 10 February.  Did you know that Grand Central boasts 68 shops and 35 dining options?  See all the nooks and crannies with an audio tour, available at “GCT Tour” windows on the Main Concourse.  You’ll learn little known secrets and discover a few hidden gems like The Campbell Apartment, an upscale cocktail lounge.  Formerly the private office and salon of 1920’s tycoon John W. Campbell, the comfy enclave’s “drinks from another era” feature concoctions with names like Prohibition Punch, Flapper’s Delight and Robber Baron.
