Vanderbilt Terror?

Take a busy city block next to Grand Central Terminal, throw in a terror attack and continued orange-plus warnings, and what do you get? An opportunity for local restauranteurs. In a classic only-in-New York tale, the old cab stand at Grand Central off Vanderbilt has now become one of the hottest after-work watering holes in midtown. First, Michael Jordan's put out some tables and a bar. Then Cipriani. And now the elegant Campbell Apartment has set up shop - just outside the western facade of GCT, under the Park Avenue viaduct. And with Vanderbilt regularly closed to traffic and the already-humming Beer Bargarten down the block, the once-staid Vanderbilt is hopping this summer. Last night, Steve-o and I grabbed two of the Campbell's Kennedy rockers, had a few pops and watched the world go by. Hey, maybe Tom Ridge is good for business!
