"Spooky score: ???????? With an enormous mahogany balcony and coffered ceiling, the Campbell looks more like a place of worship than a place to get drunk. (Does the trick, though.) This extravagantly beautiful cocktail bar inside Grand Central was once the office of a financier in the 1920s, but was also used by police for gun storage—and even as a jail—before being restored to its former glory in 1999. According to the former owner, staff have felt like they were pushed, experienced gusts of cold air, and even seen apparitions in period dress. We like stopping in for a well-crafted drink, but the Campbell's popularity (and unbeatable convenience for MetroNorth riders) means that it gets so crowded and noisy with the living, there’s no hope of noticing the dead. We’ve observed nothing resembling a ghost here, though we have seen a toddler wearing oversized pink headphones and watching something on an iPad." - molly fitzpatrick
