This is a phenomenon caused by the perfect curve of the arches and sound traveling along the tiled walls. In a four-arched entryway designed by Spanish tile worker Rafael Gustavion, there is a secret: You can whisper into one arch and your partner or traveling companion can hear what you’re saying in the other arch - diagonally across from you, 30 feet away. The Whispering Gallery Keeps No SecretsĬommuters and tourists causing a noisy tromp around Grand Central cannot drown out the tiniest whisper on the lower level. According to John Canning Company, which cleaned and restored the mural, the brick represents the two-inch thick grime covering the ceiling, caused by decades of air pollution. This brick is a reminder of what the station’s ceiling looked like before it was cleaned during the 1998 restoration project. If you look up at the giant zodiac on the ceiling, you’ll find a small, dark brick next to Cancer, the crab. The 12 constellations are composed of thousands of gold leaf stars, with some twinkling lights dotting the sky. The mural, which had fallen victim to numerous leaks, was repaired, and a new, duplicate mural was painted. In June, 1945, renovations on the roof of the Main Concourse were completed. The design was eventually corrected, but Orion still faces backward. At some point during the design, the order of the constellations was painted in reverse, with west and east flipped. The centerpiece of the Main Concourse is its celestial ceiling, which features the 12 zodiac constellations. The Station’s Celestial Ceiling Has A Flip-Flopped History Today, Grand Central hosts over 750,000 visitors and tourists daily and is open between 5:30 a.m. On February 2, 1913, Cornelius Vanderbilt’s vision became a reality when architect Whitney Warren’s magnificent Grand Central Terminal was open for business. You can call her Grand Central Terminal, Grand Central, the Terminal, GCT, and Grand Central Station (which refers to the old underground station).

The Ghost Ship is a complete immersive fantasy suggestive of a marooned derelict galleon. “Sanctum” is reminiscent of an old New Orleans bordello and speakeasy. The Grand’s main room is an eclectic cross between a Victorian train station, an old vineyard storeroom, and an old English hunting lodge.
The club is highly atmospheric with its 3 rooms of different ambiances. The Grand is a retro fusion of the past creating a fun relaxed nightclub experience.
