It has everything from the most incredible cheese selections to prepared foods to go. Before heading home, you can grab a healthy salad, fresh fruit or dinner. I spent a good deal of time just walking in the market as it is so beautiful.
Pretty pricey but the quality in general is very good. The Grand Central Market can be easily found on the east side of the Concourse centered between the Graybar and the Lexington passages.At the far east, near Lexington entrance you will find the all Organic Farm to Table produce.
A feast for the eyes, the stomach, the imagination and the wallet
A specialist food store situated in the heart of Grand Central station. The fish counter, the cheese counter, the tea/coffee counter, the delicatessen counter... all displayed with the finest produce.. and then the bakery counter! About 20 units on sale at 4 pm on a Saturday.. letting the place down. Always a pleasure to soak up the ambience of this place. Compliments to all concerned😊
Great selection of some of the best food shops in the City presented in short form here, together with a few unknowns, possibly just piggy backing on the well known ones. Murrays and Eli Zabar are well known old timers, the seafood store and Italian meat store are high quality too. Prices are typically high UES style. Fairway and even Whole Foods have better values and sometime better quality. You are paying for convenience here of course.
Fantastic except for Eli Zabar where they sell extremely stale cookies. Otherwise - great meats and fish, spices of all kinds, super cheeses, excellent produce and floral, and a nice selection of natural foods. Easy to miss if you’re a tourist, def worth seeing if you’re in Grand Central or nearby.
The Grand Central Market is my favorite place to buy fresh bread, cheese and charcuterie. My personal favorites are the bread from Elis Bread and Pastry (right next to the entrance on Lexington Avenue) and the artinal salamis which are for sale on several shops. The location is perfect for me and a lot of other commuters: Ideal to buy some fresh, high quality products before takig the train or the subway!
CUSTOMER FREEat the tail of what would have been once a feverish Friday morning rush hour, this high - end food court was not quite but very nearly forlorn. Cheese slabs, bespoke baked goods, Amanda prime meats stirred hunger and were all awaiting purchase. One bread stall was empty; its display stands bare and piled askew. Food clerk avoiderd eye contact.
Recently visited NYC and passed by the Grand Central Market as we have on quite a few occasions in the past. This is an attractive food market with a nice range of high quality food items. It is a nice place to visit if you are in the area and enjoy food markets or if you are awaiting your train departure and looking for a way to kill some time.Food stalls and counters offer up delicious looking cheeses, meats, fish, produce, coffee beans, spices, candies, cakes and pastries as well as dry goods that are interesting to see and potentially purchase. It is a good place to take pictures as well.We didnt buy anything on this particular visit, simply enjoying our browse through the market to see what was on offer on the day. In the past we have picked up very good morning breads, sticky buns, cheese cake and fruit at the Market.It is easy to find the Grand Central Market from within Grand Central Station. It is more or less directly above the Lower Level food court. You can enter directly from Lexington Avenue as well.
Love it. Fresh fruits, amazing food, beautiful flowers and a lot more exciting stuff. Definitely worth a visit.
It’s a small but lovely food market - have fantastic stalls of spices and teas, an Italian food counter, a sushi spot, fromagerie and a few other small stalls. It is quite small though and I missed more artisanal things like we typically have in European/British markets
Very nice place but some locations are close due to covid
Absolutely Grand! Everything is Fresh and a Very Pleasant Atmosphere there in the Market inside Grand Central Station good enough for a Prince and others to Visit a Treat !!!
Great for a quick bite or to grab a newspaper before your train, but like every Hudson News…overpriced! Better to plan ahead and grab all that you need at a bodega before entering Grand Central.If you’re in a hurry, however, this is your best bet!
I absolutely love the selections and the markets available here! Murrays and Pescatore are a couple of my favorites but theres always something to find here for the foodie, from chocolate to farm-to-table to even spices! And the people working there are knowledgeable and very helpful!
Do NOT buy things from the vegetable and fruit shop. Imagine buying some tomatoes, corns, strawberries and cabbage for cost more than $50 lol And they don’t even want to give you the receipt only after you asked it and found the price is scam. Definitely not going there again.
We enjoyed looking around at the array of shops. There are many different kinds of products.
Wow this was a nice surprise, so clean and such a great selection of items. Cheese, meats, pastries, fruits, snacks.
Lots of Italy food here, spices, cheese, ham…Also some seafood, angus beef, nice to shop some go home
Grand Central Market is a great place to get fresh fruits, veggies and they have a great meat selection. I like walking in and suddenly you smell the freshness of their flowers and fresh foods; no smell of trains or the beautifully clean NYC streets.When staying in the area for work, or fun, I recommend this place to get some fresh healthy groceries. And when you miss your connection at the station it is easy to walk in and get a fresh snack while you wait.Looking to freshen up your day, just walk in to the Grand Central Market.
Like a mini market within a market. Its a single strip filled with breads, prepared foods, cheeses, sushi, and even fresh fish. Has a good selection of NYC made sauces and condiments too. Located in the basement of Grand Central.
Very unprofessional, unhelpful staff. You need a better front-facing team in new york city during rush hour.
We would stop on our way to and from the subway from the nearby Wyndham 45 we stayed at. Lots of good pastries and desserts. If you are looking for a high quality snack or dessert, this has the variety and selection.
The best and freshest market for food. You can grab things to go and board the train. Ive purchased many different things over the years and they were always great. I went in for the cornbread and came out with salmon sushi with salmon egg roe. Was delishous and will definitely go next time. Great selections
Great place (clean and organized). Many interesting vendors. Worth to discover.
Man.... I could do shop here for everything I ever wanted. Spices, meats, breads.... On and on. This is a must visit if youre close by.... And hungry with no budgetI bought bread and spices I never even heard of before but smell amazing!!! The sushi.... Wow... fresh and a great assortment of good sushi rolls and bowls. It was top shelf!! Ill add pics next time Im there for sure. I was like a deer in the headlights making sure I took it all in!
If you’re wondering what $25 gets you at seafood station - 20 tiny little necks. This is the worst value I’ve ever seen in all of nyc. Crazy.
No better place to grab fresh food on your way home.
The Eli zebar has the best pistachio macaron Ive ever had. Nothing better. The market is full of gourmet selections. Well worth a walk through.
Amazing selection of gourmet food you wont find at a grocery store.
Lots of fresh foods and different options and variety.
Love this place. Been coming here for years. Best fresh produce you can rely on. Dont get me wrong Chelsea Market nice too.
It’s a beautiful market but very expensive.
Everything looks super fresh but is waaaaay too expensive. Dont do your grocery shopping here obviously, but its good for delicacies (like prosciutto) and last minute items
Got there OK.
One of the best things I discovered in New York. The cheese and dried fruit stand I miss so much. I would eat there every day.
Fresh foods and a huge variety ! Found a tea stall with a variety of options to purchase. All of them are displayed in metal bowls which is nicely displayed
This market place is buzzing and had a wonderful variety of foodstuffs available and the vendors were super helpful and friendly. Albeit a bit pricey, it wasnt unaffordable. The 🍣 sushi we are was the freshest and tastiest I have had in a long time.There are also a large number of branded eateries within the terminal. Highly recommended
The holiday market just opened and has wonderful unique gift ideas. A must stop in the city.
This place has many imported food items and theyre great quality. I was looking for goat and sheep cheeses since I cant eat many cow cheeses. This grocery store has it all. Its a bit pricey but the quality is superb. You dont have to travel far, just stop in while youre traveling at grand central.
A must when in the city! Cheese from around the globe, breads and wine. I love this place!
A foodie heaven at Grand Central Station. Well worth a visit if you want some exotic and lovely food and produce. You can enter via Central Station or there is a direct entrance from the street. We tried some of the bakery goods and the sushi and both were of excellent quality. The seafood on display looked great as did all of the other produce.
This is a place where you can shop for fresh meats and cheese. There is a wide selection of meats, cheese, breads and spices.
WOW. Never been to this and was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was! Compared to how nice Grand Central already is it fits right in. Similar to the other holiday markets popping up around the city, they offer small local businesses that have unique items and gift ideas for the family.I ended up buying a pen for my dad (long running joke story) from a man who makes custom pens by hand from odd items. Credit cards, phone chips, bullets, gears, and others. He had a line of real wood ones he carved for $55 so I got a Cherry wood one that looked really nice. Nice man too!A lot of these shops are a bit on the high side but its nyc and its grand central area. Also there is not as many shops as other markets. Other than that, go explore!
Ordered a cesar wrap on a Saturday afternoon, there wasnt a lunch rush , asked them a few times if everything was ok only to be ignore, after 20min had to tell them to cancel as Id miss my train.
Wonderful range of food emporium shops...sadly, about half have reopened. The hustle and bustle of this market is lacking right now with less traffic in GCS and the midtown area. Always able to get fresh and prepared foods. I am hopeful that this market will bounce back. Good music to the merchants who have reopened. If you are in GCS, do stop in and support the shops!!!
Like many wonderful upscale marketplaces, where it is makes its uniqueness. It caters to a bustling crowd of commuters who are either going to or coming from one of the most beautiful train terminals in the world, Grand Central Terminal. Don’t miss this space. Don’t forget to look up.
Not cheap, but the quality is outstanding. Great cheese and charcuterie selection at Murrays. The cheeses are always matured to perfection and its my go-to place in New York when I am craving for saucisson sec (yes, I was raised in France. What gave it away?).
Simply LOVE this hidden gem under the Grand Central Terminal. I appreciate all the fresh meats, cheeses, fishes, herbs, spices, and teas... you simply cannot go wrong here.Additionally, they have a flower and bread shop. Dont forget that they also have seats and dining areas outside of the market, so get your eats and take a break.This was the perfect place we came back to time after time while visiting NYC.
This is extremely small. (Not like Chelsea or Essex market). But enjoyable none the less! Had a great time walking through and picking up a green juice to enjoy on my way to grand central station.
Amazing selection of high-end fresh food. Be prepared to mortgage your condo for a bit of the action though. $46/lb for salmon should have most people running, but they dont. On those occasions where I am daft enough to have $200 to spend on an intimate evening for 2 at home, I really should just go out to eat, no? You cant replace a home-cooked meal, even if going out is cheaper, when you have the right ingredients. Not for everyday shopping, of course.
Good produce and great food. Very pricey, but convienient for commuters going to grand central. The fruit is generally excellent, but 4x what youd pay at Fairway. The bread is good and fresh and both places that sell it and the sushi is also very good.
Always a great place to visit while in NYC, even if youre not making use of Grand Central Terminal.
Grand Central Market is a food lovers dream. Spices, loose tea, coffee, fish, fresh pasta, cheese, bread, meat, fish. One stop shopping paradise. I think important to note is the average New Yorker feeding a family will find prices prohibitive for every day shopping. .
Unfortunately, its closed, due to Covid-19. It will hopefully reopen soon. Usually its a very nice place with lots of food choices for commuters and tourists alike. Alas, I only saw one or two stalls within the Market that was actually open. I pray the Market can survive financially.

2021-11-28A lovely small indoor market next to the Grand Central Station. Visitors can directly walk from the General Central Station to the Market through the channels connected to the main concourse. It has fresh produce, cheese, dry goods, bakery, etc. Recommend for a short visit!

2019-11-11Im in love with this place! I could come here every day. Best to come early in the day before the crowds. Grand Central Market has fresh meat, seafood, fruits and vegetables. There is a lot else to see make sure you slowly walk up and down both sides so not to miss anything.

2020-02-08I like the S and T Store. Spice and Tea. Random people in the train. I sat across from the singing man. Thankfully! Once I sat down he began to randomly sing an R Kelly song. I then went to the food market where I saw the largest shrimp I have ever seen! If you are a person that likes Bread and cheese theres a nice selection. The seafood selection is nice too. This is not a vegan friendly place.ijs
