Interesting in many ways - learned about Grand Central's history, it's quirks, the building itself and of course, its secrets. Richard, our guide, knew his facts and shared them with passion and humor. We were a group ranging in age from 22 to 63, and we all thought it was super. Some of us loved the history, others how it was saved from demolition in the 60's, others the architectural features. Highly recommend.
