9. Campbell Apartment
The Campbell Apartment is situated in Grand Central Terminal and is a testament to the grandiosity of a different area. The space originally served as a private salon for 1920’s financial mogul John W. Campbell and has been restored to give prominence to the intricately crafted woodwork on the ceiling, the stained glass windows, the dark wood paneled bar adjacent to the balcony and the large fireplace.
The Campbell Apartment in its own right is a well sought after destination for the after-work crowd, but  the convenience of its location caters largely to those in transit. There is a tangible juxtaposition at this bar between the temporal existence of travelers passing through and the transcendent experience of stepping into a relic of the golden era of the 20th century.
