Guess that place! (No. 5)

In some ways knowing where the bathrooms are in Grand Central is more impressive to a tourist than knowing the best pizza place in town. While we New Yorkers like to think that most people visiting our fair city are hopeless rubes who’ve never seen buildings “that dang tall,” my guess is the majority are frequent fliers whisking in from such decadent wonderlands as New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and well any place else within a two hour train ride.
