Grand Central is a really busy place. It's noisy, too. But even with those challenges, this tour felt very personal and was chock full of fun facts from our kind guide. It started promptly, and ZERO "NY attitude". Full disclosure: I'm a New Yorker myself - been to Grand Central many, many times - I just felt like I wanted to learn more about the history of a building I usually zoom through without a glance to the right or left. Was so glad I did...
