The terminal, a thruway for millions of commuters every week, offers many a chance to conjure up to romance of train travel. Built in 1913 and recently revitalized with Shops and Restaurants, Grand Central Station holds many secrets that you only need to look closely to see.

Atop the station is Campbell Apartment, '30s tycoon John W. Campbell's hideaway office and a luxurious escape from the bustle below.

Below the tracks of the Grand Central Station are levels of Shopping and Dining - from clothiers to florists to souvenir shops.

And don't forget to look up in the main concourse. The illustrated blue-green cathedral ceiling offers a different view of the nighttime sky, with constellations and other heavenly bodies-sometimes highlighted with a periodic zodiac laser show you may be lucky enough to catch.
