Grand Central is accessed by the Metro-North as well as the 4, 5, 6, and 7 Subway lines. There is also the 42nd Street shuttle that runs from Grand Central to Times Square. As one of the most visited locations in the world, Grand Central has a lot to offer.

High profile places to eat as well including the oldest restaurant in Grand Central, Oyster Bar & Restaurant as well as Michael Jordan’s The Steak House N.Y.C.

The exterior and main lobby are reasons enough to visit as it’s architecture is truly remarkable.
