THE EIGHTH ANNUAL GRAND GOURMET – THE FLAVOR OF MIDTOWN®
THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 2007
VANDERBILT HALL · GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL

Grand Gourmet – The Flavor of Midtown® is GCP's annual neighborhood restaurant showcase held in Grand Central Terminal's Vanderbilt Hall to benefit and recognize the work of the Grand Central Neighborhood Social Services Corporation, the largest not-for-profit homeless social services provider in New York City. First conceived and produced by GCP in 2000, Grand Gourmet annually draws nearly 1,000 guests, including elected officials, business and community leaders, neighborhood stakeholders, local residents and culinary enthusiasts, for an evening celebrating the very best our neighborhood has to offer.

On Thursday, April 12, Grand Gourmet guests once again sampled delicious dishes and beverages from more than 30 of Midtown Manhattan's (and the world's) finest restaurants in the unforgettable setting of majestic Vanderbilt Hall. This year's event, our eighth annual celebration, was our most exciting to date as guests savored the flavor of springtime here in the Grand Central neighborhood.
