A downtown tourist destination since 1917, Grand Central Market is the city’s quintessential food emporium, boasting 40-plus vendors in a lively, family-friendly space. You’ll find everything from reimagined bento boxes to ecologically sustained oyster-mussel-urchin platters, though we recommend the egg-salad sandwiches from Eggslut, the vegan ramen at Ramen Hood, the city’s best falafel at Kismet, and the smoked kosher specialties from Wexler’s Deli. Open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week, Grand Central Market has a jam-packed events calendar, with game nights, movie screenings, and live music scheduled at regular intervals.
