Maira Kalman is a New York icon, and she makes Grand Central Station seem way more fun than it actually is. Read this and remember everything you love (and hate) about Grand Central: the glamour! the excitement! the rush! the possibility! the mediocre bagels in the dining concourse!

— Peter

Description


At Grand Central Station, Chief of Police George Coppola finds lost people, and Mr. Chidchester, head of the Lost and Found, finds lost dogs. Marino Marino makes oyster stew, while thinking up interesting math problems. A man in a porkpie hat buys cherry pies. Maira Kalman's stylized artwork, along with entertaining text, brilliantly captures the excitement of Grand Central Station, "the busiest, fastest, biggest place there is."
