"When I stand at the top of the staircase and look out into the terminal, it's like cooking in the center of the world."
Métrazur, named for a commuter train that once ran along the Cote d'Azur en route to Monaco, is located in the gloriously revitalized Grand Central Terminal. Sitting on the East Balcony, Métrazur diners overlook the 80,000 square foot Main Concourse under the famous "night sky" ceiling, and astronomical mural of gold leaf on cerulean blue oil, portraying the Mediterranean sky with October to March zodiac.
Spread over two dining areas bisected by a grand marble staircase modeled after the Paris Opera House, Métrazur features an open stainless kitchen where Chef de Cuisine Stefan Bahr adds a Mediterranean touch to Palmer's signature style with dishes like Scallops BLT with Tomato Carpaccio, and Sweet Corn Risotto. Food and wine pairings shine as about half of the wine anthology is offered by the glass. Equipped with high speed wireless service, one of New York's great landmarks is now a meeting and eating place.
