Set within landmark Vanderbilt Hall inside Grand Central Terminal, Grand Brasserie marries Parisian elegance with unmistakable New York energy. The 16,000‑sq‑ft space features veined marble, curved brass screens, red banquettes and two expansive bars pouring craft cocktails and a 400‑label wine list. Executive Chef Guillaume Thivet’s all‑day menu runs from 5:30 AM to 2 AM, starting with lobster omelets, viennoiserie and eggs à la coque, then transitioning to Gruyère‑topped onion soup, moules‑frites, truffle‑mushroom ravioli and choose‑your‑cut steak frites. A three‑course prix‑fixe makes it a go‑to for power lunches. A hidden 100‑seat Green Room offers an intimate escape for client dinners and celebrations, while the lively front bar fuels an after‑work cocktail scene with hits like the Nitro Espresso Martini & Hugo spritz. Open daily, Grand Brasserie invites commuters, travelers and locals alike to savor French classics and craft drinks in one of New York’s most iconic settings.
