Grand Central Market


It's not all trains at Grand Central. The station also holds a 240ft corridor lined with perfectly coiffed fresh produce and artisanal treats. Stock up on anything from crusty bread and fruit tarts to sushi, chicken pot pies, Spanish quince paste, loose-leaf tea, antipasti and roasted coffee beans. There’s even a Murray’s Cheese stall, peddling milky wonders like cave-aged Gruyère.
