Dining Review: Metrazur
Location, location location! In this city, location is everything. For Grand Central - not so long ago made over from a decaying relic into the Grand Dame of the EmpireState - there is nothing so complimentary as a finely designed space with a product to match. Charlie Palmer has added a touch of elegance to what is otherwise a stone temple to the urban commute. While not a destination dining experience, Metrazur does offer fine Mediterranean inspired fare and a very pleasing wine list. This is a great after-work for a glass of wine and appetizers, for resting the feet after a day of sight-seeing, or for a business dinner. It is not hopping with the scantily clad youth that prowl the Meatpacking District, nor the glitterati that pervade the city from 14th to Wall Street. No, this a place where the better-heeled can sit in relative calm and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Go here was a drink after work, with friends from out of town or with business associates trekking in from points north. Expensive for what it is, Metrazur nevertheless lets one breathe in the aromas of Capitalism without the kitsch. Caution: Lots of photo ops can make one feel like a victim of the paparazzi.
