dishes, 48 Grand Central Terminal (42nd btwn Park & Lex)

I was blessed with the ability to live with my parents for the first two years of law school. That is, when I wasn't living in the library. The first year, my mom was working in Westchester as a librarian so, was doing the reverse commute from Grand Central. Sometimes, when I came home before midnight and hadn't succomb to fast food row near the law school, there would be a delicious pot pie from dishes waiting for me at home.

There is almost anything you can imagine at Dishes. That's why I can't categorize it as one particular theme. It has some traditional american dishes (like my pot pie), some latin american dishes, southwestern style, even asian noodles. It's actually perfect given its location, so commuters passing through not knowing what the heck they want to eat for dinner can have options. They also have a massive list of pre-designed sandwiches, targeting the same audience, as well as numerous salads. Oh, and did I mention they have Balthazar croissants? Yum without the two hour wait.

So if you find yourself at Grand Central, wanting to pick up something to take home, or are heading somewhere else and want a little picnic lunch, not only should you check out Grand Central Market but definitely make a pit stop at dishes. The hot entree's change, but they are always wonderful.

WHAT TO BITE? Personal chicken pot pie, $5.50.
