Grand Central Terminal is 100 this year, and the celebrations are happening all year long: Tomorrow, Wednesday, April 10, different Grand Central Terminal retailers are offering special giveaways to the first 100 customers. There's a "bambini" scoop of gelato or sorbet from Ciao Bella and free cookies from Magnolia as well as a "free vanilla cupcake with Grand Central clock topper" from Zaro's.
