Two years ago, I spent Christmas in Paris, and I've been longing to find the same festive charm in my home city of New York ever since.
Enter Grand Brasserie, Grand Central Terminal's newest restaurant, which pays homage to classic Parisian eateries with its signature red booths, cozy bistro tables, and French fare.
I visited Grand Brasserie on a Thursday morning during the height of the Christmas season in New York City and thought it was the ideal spot for a satisfying — yet convenient — meal during your commute to or from New York during the holidays.
However, it could also be a destination for those visiting New York and wanting to have a festive brunch or dinner in a classic, well-decorated restaurant in central Manhattan within walking distance of some of the city's most iconic tourist attractions.

To locals like myself, however, shopping in Paris refers more to the often daily ritual of food shopping. Whether it’s shopping for seasonal produce at the outdoor marché or running the neighborhood circuit of épicerie (a small grocery store), boulangerie (bakery), fromagerie (cheese shop), and boucherie (butcher shop), there are a few items that serve to assist—and up the beauty of—those everyday errands.
Forget yachting in the French Riviera and skiing in Switzerland — the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express grand suites sit atop the wealthy traveler's bucket list.
