The Landmark Beauty of Grand Central Terminal

Dear Abe, How President Kennedy loved Grand Central Terminal. [in her letter to then mayor Abe Beame to save Grand Central Terminal in the eleventh hour]

-Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, former First Lady, editor, and historic preservationist

 

Each day I get off the train in Grand Central, and walk into a gorgeous ornate Beaux Arts-style terminal. I always have my camera, either the Canon or the trusty iPhone. And I go looking for something that catches my eye differently than ever before. The light. The people. The buzz. It all makes me happy. Thank goodness this beautiful building is still around.

Below is a fun 15 second video of the rush rush rush, followed by some photographs that I’m putting together into a book. Come visit NYC and call me so I can meet you for a stroll. So many of you have taken me up on that. Thanks!
