Grand Central Station, besides Times Square, is perhaps one of the most filmed spots in New York City. It is also one of the most beautiful train stations with a ceiling painted with the constellations, huge chandeliers, and a large clock in the middle.

Tips:

In the basement of Grand Central Station, near the entrances to all the Metro-North tracks, is a large food hall with a pretty decent selection. The clock in the middle of the station makes for a good meeting point, you simply can’t miss it. Another interesting fact is that all the constellations on the ceilling were accidentally painted in reverse (they decided not to fix it). The chandeliers weigh over 2 tons each. They also have a large market on the upper level as well as walking tours.
