Grand Central Station, New York

In April I was in New York and did the "touristy" thing of walking from our hotel over to Grand Central Station--one of my favorite architectural buildings in the world. Located in Midtown at 42nd Street and Park Avenue, it is the largest train station in the world in number of platforms: 44 with 67 tracks. It was built in 1913 and has been the source for commuters and travelers passing through on their way towards other destinations ever since. In 1947 65 million people (or 40% of the US population) traveled through its concourses. It is a great place to people watch, snag a pretzel, or try and figure out the shooting angles that were used in movies like North by Northwest, Men in Black or Duplicity. My favorites are the black and white shots, but I have to share the richness of the colors in the station as well.
