As part of his dining takeover of Grand Central Terminal, which also includes Scandinavian dining room Agern and its next-door sausage stall Danish Dogs, Noma cofounder Claus Meyer unveils this 5,000-square-foot marketplace inside Vanderbilt Hall. The hall is divided into five Nordic-inspired food pavilions: Grain Bar serves house-made granola, parfaits and porridges; the vegetable-focused Almanak offers salads, smoothies and snacks; Meyers Bageri produces pastries and breads (vanilla-cream Danishes, rye croissants); Brownsville Roasters pours a seasonally-changing coffee program; and Open Rye features a rotating selection of smørrebrød, Danish open-face sandwiches, built with house-cured meats and fish.
June in New York was pretty mild but the restaurant scene was hot—and we’re not just talking about the fiery fried chicken Carla Hall’s doling out at her Columbia Street debut. There were big-name seafood restaurants, highly anticipated food courts and a food-focused sibling to oenophile favorite Brooklyn Winery. These are the best new restaurants diners can now visit in New York.
