Lunching and Shopping at Grand Central Market

REVIEW

March 11, 2010


CUISINE: American (New), Desserts & Bakeries, Italian
NEIGHBORHOOD: Midtown

 

A couple of weeks ago YAH was invited to go sampling in the Grand Central Market. Having grown up in Bedford, NY, Frankie's the only one in the gang who's familiar with Grand Central. Madeline and Rachel are from California, and when Seth and I want to visit the family in Philadelphia, we're stuck with Penn Station, the food options of which are limited to Famous Amos cookies at the news stand, or a full blown wings-and-fries dinner at TGI Fridays.  I knew that Grand Central had some decent grub, but I didn't realize the extent of their culinary prowess. Forget getting a train; let's get some lunch.

 

Below: A rundown of the day's edibles, plus a video of YAH talking to Murray's Cheese, interviewing Mr. Zaro of Zaro's Bread, and sampling $100 per lb. proscuitto.

 

 

 

 

Murray's Cheese: Friendly, red-capped staff and delectable cheeses.

 

 

 

Murray's Real Salami: More helpful hands, plus pastrami, salami, and $100 per lb.proscuitto. 

 

 

 

Zaro's Bread Basket: Killer multi-grain, challah, and whole-wheat breads. Owner enjoys the Black and White cookie, a New York favorite for over 75 years.    

 

 

Corrado Bread & Pastry: Low-fat scones, plump muffins and beautiful little tarts that taste nearly as good as they look. The perfect gift to bring to a dinner party.

 

 

 

 

Ceriello Fine Foods: Butcher shop selling Prime Aged Beef, juicy olives, dried pastas and prepared foods like chunky sausages and caprese salads.

 

Dishes at Home:  Prepared foods with an emphasis on high proteins and veggies. Go for the salmon cake and a side of something green.

Great bit -- the Murray's guy did not have the guts to slag off his cheese! But you were at Grand Central TERMINAL not Station -- Grand Central Station is the Post Office next door. Better edit them credits. Well done, young'uns. Jason
