One of my favourite places in NYC as well -- so much history with such a cool vibe. Mixed with oysters and a little champagne, well it's downright romantic! Oh!

This place plus the Campbell Apartment makes Grand Central one of NY's premiere destinations for reliving the old New York lore.

Here's a little trick: find a friend and go to that area shown in the second to last photo (the black and white one). It's a square-shaped area covered by a vaulted ceiling. Have your friend stand facing the corner with his or her nose almost touching that corner. Now you do the same thing at the corner on the opposite side. Now, you can speak in a quiet voice into the corner and your friend will hear you as if you were standing right next to them. It's awesome. I hit on a stranger I met on the train by doing this.
