Drinking the Dark Romance of Old New York in Grand Central, NYC

Slip past the throngs of fast-moving commuters; sidestep the gaggles of saucer-eyed tourists; ignore the conspicuous consumers dining under Grand Central Station's cavernous, echoing concourse. Up a discreet staircase near the 43rd Street Entrance lies a portal to vintage New York—complete with bow-tied bartenders and perfectly-prepared cocktails. Dusky golden lights, the gleam of dark wood, and the low clinking of glassware mingle with the scents of mint and mixers at the Campbell Apartment, an untouched gem that was once the private office of 1920s railroad executive John W. Campbell. This bar is still a secret by NYC standards, so slip into your best retro cocktail attire (jeans-and-sneakers will get you turned away at the door), order a signature Prohibition Punch, and drink in the glamor of an era gone by.
