Grand Central Terminal
I bring people here to stand still in the middle of the Main Concourse and look up. The ramps, not stairs, that move you through it; the celestial ceiling (painted backwards); the light through the east windows mid-morning. It's a masterclass in how architecture moves a crowd.
A 1913 Beaux-Arts cathedral of transit — the Main Concourse is the city's greatest interior room.
