“Grand Central, Reborn as a Mall” by David W. Dunlap

In the New York Times article, “Grand Central, Reborn as a Mall,” dated August 2, 1998, David W. Dunlap discusses the new changes Grand Central Terminal had been undergoing at the time. He mentions at length the types of stores and restaurants that will be renting out retail space such as the more luxurious Michael Jordan’s The Steak House N.Y.C. to more everyday shops such as Banana Republic, Rite Aid, and Two Boots Pizza. He relays several quotes from retail tenants, executives, and average visitors that express nothing but excitement for these changes and he has mentioned anyone in disagreement towards these new additions to the terminal. Dunlap himself encourages these renovations and claims that despite commercializing Grand Central Terminal, it still retains its architectural beauty.
