When Great Northern Food Hall opened at Grand Central in 2016 with a Nordic theme from Noma co-founder Claus Meyer it showed promise and ambition for what dining options at a major transit hub could be. Then the pandemic hit, it shuttered, and the nearly 16,000-square-foot space at Vanderbilt Hall was taken over by City Winery, more known as an event space than a culinary destination. City Winery lasted two years. Now, the New York Post reports, as of this month, a new tenant has taken over the massive Grand Central space.
