Sightseeing
An icon of the city that closed in the late 1980s. Designed by the same architect as New York Central Station. The station recently got an uplift; meaning new windows, which makes it less astounding IMO. You can take a nap in the grass in Roosevelt Park and wake up and fall asleep with the vision of the train station.
