Grand Central Terminal
New York, New York
built 1871
First constructed in 1871, Grand Central Terminal was originally constructed as a transit hub for three separate railroad companies. Since then, Grand Central Terminal has undergone numerous renovations, officially reborn as the Beaux Arts building of today in February of 1913. With 44 platforms and serving approximately 750,000 commuters and visitors a day, this national historic landmark is considered one of the busiest terminals in the world.
Unknown to many visitors, New York state is home to over seven million acres of farmland. In an effort to educate the public about the diverse agricultural industry of the state, Taste NY was established in 2013. The program's aim is to encourage both locals and visitors to experience the foods that grow in their own back yard. Taste NY stores can be found across the state, including a location inside Grand Central Terminal. This location gives the hundreds of thousands of visitors who travel through the terminal a chance to taste the homegrown flavors of a New York farm during their visit. |
