Tartinery Grand Central: Half-Price Wine Inside the Terminal, Mon–Fri 4–7pm
Tartinery Grand Central runs happy hour Monday to Friday, 4–7pm: half off every wine by the glass, every beer and the Seasonal Spritz. It’s on the Dining Concourse, the terminal’s lower level, at 89 E 42nd Street.
The verdict: this is the only weekday happy hour inside Grand Central, and it’s a real one. Half off a $13–$17 glass of wine puts you at roughly $6.50–$8.50 without leaving the building. The catch is that it stops on Friday. If you want the same deal on a weekend, the Park Ave Tartinery two blocks south runs it all day Saturday and Sunday.
The Happy Hour
- Window: Monday to Friday, 4–7pm. No weekend deal at this location.
- Wine by the glass: half off. Tartinery lists glasses at $13–$17, so about $6.50–$8.50 during the window.
- Beer: half off. Beers list at $10–$11, so about $5–$5.50.
- Seasonal Spritz: half off.
- Cocktails: not on the deal.
The Room
It’s a counter-service café on the Dining Concourse, not a bar, and the line at 5:30pm is mostly people with a train to catch. Get there before the after-work wave comes down the ramp from the Main Concourse if you want a seat. It opens at 6:30am every day and runs until 10pm Monday to Saturday and 9pm on Sunday. No reservations; it’s walk-in only.
