Hidden Rooms

While none of these rooms are really that hidden you might feel like you are finding a hidden gem.

The Campbell Apartment
Hidden inside Grand Central Terminal it's easy to miss the Campbell Apartment, which is actually a bar and lounge. Once the luxurious office and salon of 1920's mogul John Campbell, the current space maintains the original interior including extensive woodwork, decorative beamed ceiling and an immense glass window. During rush hour the Campbell Apartment is more crowded with commuters or the after work crowd, so late night and weekends are probably a better time to visit and have one of their signature drinks such as the "Prohibition Punch" or "Terrace Punch." Proper attire is required - no sneakers, t-shirts, shorts or other less formal clothing. (15 Vanderbilt Ave, between 42nd & 43rd St., Map)

Aye Simon Reading Room
The Guggenheim Museum designed by Frank Lloyd Wright is an architectural masterpiece. Between admiring the exhibits and enjoying the museum's vertigo inducing gallery it is easy to miss the small reading room located on the second ramp. The reading room contains books on the current and past exhibits and about the museum itself. It's a nice little oasis among the usually crowded museum. What is also interesting is that this room was designed by the famous architect Richard Meier, best known for designing museums and houses. (1071 Fifth Avenue, between 88th & 89th St., Map)

MarieBelle
Inside a small store in SoHo, past an incredible (and tempting) chocolate selection is a Cacao Bar and Tea Salon. This small dining area offers an Old World experience in the New World. You'll think you are sipping hot chocolate in Paris or Vienna. Visit our Chocolate Tour section for more chocolate suggestions. (484 Broome Street, between West Broadway and Wooster St., Map)
