I had never been to Grand Central Station the many times I have visited New York. This tour was a pleasant surprise to learn the history of what was the past and how it goes into the future. I loved our tour guide who was quick with his knowledge and if he didn't know, he found out. This is the heart beat of what New York was in the beginning. Interesting to see how things have changed and why and how so much has not changed.
