The Great Northern Food Hall opened in spring, 2016 at Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan. Claus Meyer, one of the founders of the restaurant noma, is taking over the train station, leaving his Scandinavian mark on the tastebuds of travelers and New Yorkers alike.
The hall offers five different pavilions selling drinks, coffees, sandwiches, sausages, soups, hot food and sweets. You can order at the counters or sit down in a little cafe and have waitress service, which is what we did.
We tried several of the open faced-sandwiches for a lovely little supper one evening.
Egg and mushroom and herring:
Salmon and chicken liver:
Egg and shrimp and pork:
All were fabulous.
And so were the creative cocktails. Highly recommend a visit.
