When I came here on my vacation to NYC, I could only think about how I was at the same place as the escaped animals from the Madagascar movie

Huge shoutout to Onassis for preserving Grand Central ❤️. What happened to pen station was a tragedy and I couldn’t imagine NYC without grand central

It is mind boggling that it required a massive effort to preserve this beautiful landmark from demolition. You can be absolutely sure that it would have been impossible to replace it once it was bulldozed. Thank you, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis for your leadership. Oh, I just remembered that I had my first martini in the Oyster Bar, compliments of my college roommate.

As a native from new york, born and raised here,Grand central station is my favorite train station. I studied history of architecture and if weren't for protests and the landmarks commision, grand central station wouldn't exist today. For me it is one of the most beautiful train stations i ever seen and i cry a little becuase it's still standing beautiful and strong and still serving many people who take the train.

Gorgeous! And to think, NYC was actually going to tear it down...SMDH.

50 years ago,I had to go there twice a day-from New Jersey!I was a messenger who hauled a satchel of office materials back and forth as there was no internet in those days.I used to have the first copy of the NY Post in NJ as it was a late morning paper then.

THIS IS SO AWESOME! i was just in grand central last week, taking my mom there for a photography session, and i never noticed all these details of Grand Central, which is one of my favorite places to visit in NYC. Every times i walk in there, there's this sense of grandeur, and this video makes me appreciate its beauty so much more!

This was such a wonderful and detailed video. I travel through Grand Central everyday, to and from the city, but I’ve never stopped to notice all these wonderful details besides the obvious ones. Now traveling through Grand Central will be a different experience for me.

Until I viewed this video I had no real appreciation of the sheer scale and beauty of Grand Central terminal. Thank you for posting this. It is an absolute delight to watch .

I'm so thankful that my wife, our daughter and I got the opportunity to experience this Grand Work of Architecture in April of 2018. We rode a train from Tarrytown, New York into Grand Central Terminal and when we entered the terminal we were simply in awe! The place is majestically beautiful! We saw Vanderbilt Hall and the dedication to Jacqueline Kennedy. We rode one of the elevators that seemed to take us back in time. We also learned that at its peak 130 train tracks terminated at Grand Central. That's mind boggling! The entire city of New York is amazing. We can't wait to return because although we saw many places of interest in our 8 days in the city, there are hundreds of more things we didn't see.

Yes! Great idea for this video. More NYC

Awesome building from a time when architects were true artists and knew exactly what they were doing creating places that were both beautiful and practical. Too bad U.S. billionaires of today lack the vision to back the "Rebuild Penn Station" project which would put right the city's greatest act of civil vandalism in it's history. Great video!

This was awesome - incredibly interesting! Definitely do more of these style videos for sure ^_^
