Description
The famed Oyster Bar Restaurant within New York City's iconic Grand Central Station.
Grand Central Terminal stands as one of America's greatest transportation hubs, and one of New York City's most iconic buildings. It is both a national institution and an international example of giving new life to a historic building rather than demolition and reconstruction. Over the course of a colorful and tumultuous 100-year history, Grand Central has gone from being simply the beginning and terminating point of long-distance rail travel, to being the iconic home of Metro-North Railroad and a destination for commuters, tourists and residents. Grand Central boasts restaurants, cocktail lounges, a gourmet market, and numerous specialty shops. (information provided from www.mta.info)

Revisit! This is well conceived and executed. Fascinating how it feels like several unique shots rolled into one. My eye is drawn to all four courners and then takes in the whole! Excellent work!
