Chirping Chicken

For those passing through Grand Central with a few minutes to spare, this spot serves up made-to-order meals rather than pre-packaged grab-and-go. The kitchen builds the house special sandwich with grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, pesto, tomato, and arugula, and offers a half chicken served with pita bread. Because most dishes are prepared fresh, a brief wait is common when the line builds, but the payoff is a satisfying, hot meal at reasonable prices.
