New York: Grand Central Terminal Great Northern Food Hall: Flatbreads; The smorrebrod stand (Danish open faced sandwiches); Designer Dogs

Grand Central Terminal Great Northern Food Hall

A team led by Danish food entrepreneur Claus Meyer opened The Great Northern Food Hall in Grand Central Terminal. This food hall brings culinary concepts, flavors and ideas – rooted in the history and the landscapes of the Nordic countries. Claus is the founder of Meyers Bageri, which launched many influential restaurants and other food projects in Denmark. He is also co-founder of Noma, a Copenhagen restaurant that has four times been rated the best in the world. Claus helped initiate the New Nordic Cuisine food movement.

Below is some of the food from the various food stations in the food hall.
