About Grand Central Market

The smell of the griddle competes with the coffee, and someone at your table has already changed their mind. At Grand Central Market, do a lap first: tacos, dishes from other cuisines and vegetarian options share the same hall. Broadway is outside; in here, lunch gets its own itinerary.

Each counter keeps its own hours, so trying something specific means checking ahead. If you're in a group, agree on where to meet up; deciding where to sit usually takes more negotiation than choosing the food.
