Secrets of the Pan Am Building & Grand Central

Two landmarks stand back to back on Park Avenue, and together they explain how modern Midtown came to be. This private tour pairs the terminal New Yorkers fought to save with the tower that rose behind it and became one of the most talked about buildings of its era.

Pan Am Building
Join us for a walking tour that explores the building that set the tone for late 20th-century Park Avenue and still fascinates New Yorkers today. Guests will get interesting views of the Pan Am Building both inside and out, alongside firsthand stories from Robyn Roth Moise, daughter of Richard Roth Jr., the architect responsible for the building's design. Robyn's stories are rich, funny, and not to be missed. Along the way, learn the fascinating
origin story of Project X and its unexpected financial story, discover the secrets of the breathtaking art still in the building today, and find out how Pan Am became involved and how the short-lived heliport made it to the roof.

Grand Central Terminal
Discover why Grand Central's ceiling is painted backwards, one of New York's most Googled mysteries, right underneath it. Hear how Jacqueline Kennedy took on the wrecking ball in the preservation battle that saved the terminal and changed the city forever. And uncover the stories nobody tells: the secret party held on Track 61, the rocket that once stood in the concourse, and the railroad executive who built a private apartment inside a
working train station.
