For decades, the first thing a newcomer to New York City would have seen was the smoke filled concourse of Grand Central Terminal. People rushing to meet loved ones, to catch a train or to enjoy the magnificent 20th centrury marvel, Grand Central Terminal has been home to many. Intricate details in the terminal are abundant. Such an intricate detail is the magnificent ceiling. Once covered from cigarette smoke and tar the ceiling sat covered and unnoticed from the public eye. However after many years of restoration projects nowadays anyone can appreciate the refurbished and welcoming station. Although a symbol of the bygone era of railway travel, Grand Central Terminal remains a prominent gateway to the greatest city in the world.
