by Molly F. on 2006-09-25Great decor in this place, but the nightlife is nothing to be too jazzed about. However, the Saturday/Sunday brunch special is unbeatable. It's nice and dark and usually not too crowded if you get there before 1200. Trixies and Chads abound in the AM, but if you go armed with a group of friends who are equally hungover and who also look like hell, it turns out to be alright.
by Shannon S. on 2006-02-02I have now been here quite a few times. There is always a good crowd (actually sometimes there can be too much of a crowd). They have pretty good drink specials throughout the week. The night we went (I think a Wednesday) they had $3 martinis. I know the waitress also told me they have $5 martinis on Friday, you don't see that very often. Their food is pretty good. I had their chicken and pear panini. Even better, they have sweet potato fries. : )

Food
The Grand Central’s menu is probably too upscale to attach the title “pub grub” to. It’s a yuppie’s dream mix of martinis and paninis, rounded out with a decent mix of appetizers, salads and sandwiches. Start out with the strawberry baby spinach salad or the ahi sushi salad, then move on to some zucchini corn quesadillas, Grand Central ribs or roasted red pepper and pesto hummus. The sandwich menu includes a variety of paninis, from prime rib to chicken/pear, a pecan chicken wrap, a shrimp dish, and the requisite burgers. A small selection of entrees (surf ‘n’ turf pasta and Mediterranean chicken are solid choices) rounds out the menu.
