110. The Grandest Of Centrals

19th April, Grand Central Station, Midtown, New York

A gazillion visits to New York and I've never been to Grand Central Station. 

The reasons I should want to see the Grand Central Station is probably much more related to its' grand architecture and fascinating history rather than the fact that a scene from I Am Legend was filmed here. And I didn't even like I Am Legend. The zombie cannibal creatures made me cry and I didn't sleep in my own bed for about a week.

In a half hearted attempt to be a bit cultural after two days spent pretty much doing nothing but shopping and intense wine drinking, we left the gorgeous weather outside for a quick visit to the station.  

Yeah, I really do suck at architecture. I can tell the difference between pretty and unpretty in my own personal opinion, but as far as whether or not something is from the baroque, colonial or neoclassical era - I really have absolutely no clue whatsoever. I did however place Grand Central Station in the pretty category. Pretty windows. Pretty stairs. Pretty floor.

Oh, and they have a food market. With cake. Like loads of cake. And really expensive strawberries. Good place. I like it.


Tourist snaps!
 
Bunny cakes at the market!
