NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Several retailers will have a new home in Grand Central Terminal this year, the MTA announced Wednesday.
After a delay opening up the new storefronts in the transit hub, the eateries and retailers will debut by the end of the year.
“Grand Central Terminal is not just as a transportation hub, it's a destination in its own right,” said Metro-North President Catherine Rinaldi. “These incoming tenants recognize the vibrant atmosphere that makes the terminal so iconic will only increase when the Long Island Rail Road concourse opens this year so their timing could not be more perfect.”
The confirmed restaurants include:
City Winery: Full-functioning restaurant, bar, winery, and private events space, with ambient music. They will take over the west side of Vanderbilt Hall.
Cipriani: The luxury Italian hospitality company with a global presence will be expanding its footprint with a new 8,200 square-foot new Argentinian chophouse located adjacent to the already existing restaurant Cipriani Dolci.
Bourke Street Bakery: Sydney born bakery brand with locations in Nomad, Chelsea & UWS will be serving its iconic sourdough, pastries, yummy sweet treats, hearty sandwiches, salads and Australian coffee. The bakery is expected to open by July in the 42nd Street Passage.
Luke’s Lobster: Family-owned Maine seafood business with 26 existing locations will be opening its next lobster shack at Grand Central Terminal’s Dining Concourse. Serving the finest quality seafood direct from Maine, including the signature Lobster Roll.
Dirty Taco: An upbeat and urban taco shop offering L.A. street style tacos, delicious side dishes, and agua frescas. Dirty Taco & Tequila will be located next to Prova Pizza on the Dining Concourse.
In addition to eateries, Karma & Luck, a lifestyle brand offering items from jewelry to home décor and accessories, will be opening on the Main Concourse in the Lexington Passage in June.
Another retailer, Lovepop which designs magical pop-up cards and gifts, recently opened a storefront in the main concourse off the Graybar Passage.
“Grand Central is a world-class icon and the retail environment is making a comeback that is poised to gain even more momentum,” said MTA Chief Administrative Officer Lisette Camilo. “The range of new tenants coming to Grand Central underscores that attractiveness and how the MTA works hard to curate diverse retail experience for riders and visitors alike.”
