The Third Annual "Taste of the Terminal" is officially back at Grand Central Terminal. Is that not the world's best news ever?
To answer our own question, it is, in fact, the world's best news. Like ever.
Every Wednesday in July, there will be free food available for your stomach's delight at Grand Central.
The hype is high, and the magic begins today.
Beer Table to Go will offer gratis beers and pretzels, Jacque Torres Ice Cream will be giving away ice cream and sorbet, and Zaro's will be handing out their famous black-and-white cookies. This is all going down at Grand Central Terminal from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and then again from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
So, get there and kick off your July 4th celebrations early. We mean it.
If free food and drinks weren't enough to make your heart stop, there's more. A lineup of performers curated by Music Under New York will be rocking out for your enjoyment. Today's performers will include the West Village Quartet and New York City Subway Girl.
