The Best Architectural LandmarksBest Historic Building: Grand Central Terminal. Despite all the steel-and-glass skyscrapers in New York, there are still many historic marvels standing, and the best is this Beaux Arts gem. This railroad station, built in 1913, was restored in the 1990s to recapture its brilliance. Even if you don't have to catch a train, make sure you visit. Best Skyscraper: The Chrysler Building. There is no observation deck, but this Art Deco masterpiece is best viewed from outside or from other observation decks like the Empire State Building. Most Impressive Place of Worship: Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Construction began on the world's largest Gothic cathedral in 1892 and it's still going on. But this is one structure that benefits from being a work-in-progress. Maps Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice.
