It is somewhat bizarre when a train terminal is considered as one of the top-ten touring sights in the world right? Well, there is a hidden gem inside this triumph of architecture that is over 100 years old - the food establishments or eateries lining the hallways! Some of the trains such as the 20th Century were considered to be the trendsetters for luxury-trains at the time, and it is no coincidence that this inspired the Grand Central Market. The lower level dining concourse, which is below ground, has a unique atmosphere considering that many tourists visit here to explore the food culture after they tour New York, which as you know, is a very expansive city. With a landmark status granted in 1976, it is no doubt that the standards for everything went a notch higher, including the tastes to savor!
