Commuters move through the grand hall of Grand Central Terminal in New York, January 25, 2013. It plays host hundreds of thousands of visitors each day, had an extensive facelift in the 1990s and was nearly demolished about 55 years ago, but Grand Central Terminal survived and is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Since its grand beginnings in 1913, when it was dubbed the greatest railway terminal in the world with an $80 million price tag, Grand Central has been an integral part of New York.
