Grand Central Terminal officially opened on Sunday, February 2, 1913. One hundred and fifty thousand people showed up although construction was not yet entirely complete. The one hundred foot wide by six hundred and fifty foot long structure, rivaled the Eiffel Tower for the most dramatic engineering achievement of the nineteenth century. The most prominent feature was undoubtedly its enormous train shed. The terminal began restoration in 1996 and was finished on October 1, 1998.
The market is full of different vendors offering anything from truffle honey to Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. The venders include:
- Ceriello Fine Foods
- Corrado Bread & Pastry
- Dishes at Home
- Greenwich Produce
- Koglin German Hams
- Li-Lac Chocolates
- Murray’s Cheese
- Murray’s Real Salami
- Oren’s Daily Roast
- Penzey’s Spices
- Pescatore Seafood Company
- Wild Edibles
- Zaro’s Bread Basket
Although there were many things to buy, I only bought the truffle honey from Murray’s Cheese. As I mentioned before the honey was very fragrant and was a great match with prosciutto and blue Montagnolo. The atmosphere is laid back and prices are very reasonable.
