What to do in Grand Central?
You can:
- admire the architecture and its "inverted" celestial vault of the French painter Paul Helleu
- play tennis: there are two courts
- shop
- eat in a fast food restaurant or at the prestigious Oyster Bar
Nb: if you choose to eat at the Oyster Bar, you will enjoy a splendid setting. However, note that your addition may be quite high.
For example: count $7 for coca and $83 for two sandwiches (excluding tip - price 2014).
My advice: if your budget is on the low side, prefer the shake shake.
