| Be transported by the iconic beauty and lasting legacy of Grand Central Terminal. This historic world-famous landmark in Midtown Manhattan is not simply a transportation hub—it’s also a shopping, dining, and cultural destination with 60 shops, 35 places to eat, and a full calendar of events all under one magnificent roof.
Opened to the public in February 1913, Grand Central Terminal is a story of great engineering, survival, rebirth and an authentic example of Beaux-Arts architecture. In 1978, architect Philip Johnson and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis campaigned to secure landmark status for the Terminal, ensuring the building would serve New Yorkers for generations to come.
Travelers call the train station "iconic" and say it's a beautiful space to walk through or to grab a meal and people-watch. |
INFORMATION BOOTH CLOCK |
 |
| Grand Central Terminal is one of the country’s great architectural achievements and New York City’s unofficial meeting place with thousands of people choosing to “meet me at the clock” – rendezvousing with friends and loved ones each day at the opal-faced Main Concourse Information Booth Clock. The crown jewel of Grand Central, this Main Concourse landmark has everyone saying, “meet me at the clock!” There, you will find a window where over 1000 questions per day are answered. The clock—like all clocks in the Terminal—is set by the atomic clock in the U.S. Naval Observatory in Bethesda, Maryland, and is accurate to within 1 second every 20 billion years! This famed opal clock above the Information Booth is valued at as much as $20 million. |
