After being in New York for many a year, too many to count, I find it increasingly rare to find anything which strikes me as spectacular. Tourists come and gawk at Times Square and think it's the second coming, for example- but they'd jump up and down about any old thing that this place offers up to them. Me? If I were pressed to list places, I really couldn't think of many, although the Seagram Building is surely my favorite building here, and there are any number of interesting interiors (the Morgan Library comes to mind, especially Morgan's office). Really, it's hard to reel them off...
The reason I write this is because I was just reminded of a pretty good place the other day when I had to meet someone for a casual lunch- we met in Grand Central, and the hustle and bustle of the crowd made the whole place quite fun in a metropolitan kind of way. Looking up at the renovated ceiling depicting the heavens, it was quite super. Now, if everyone were dressed to the nines instead of the usual casual "whatever"/"comfortable" mode, then it would be really spectacular.
