Tombolo Books is a starting point for browsing new fiction and nonfiction in the Grand Central District. Its official site includes the store’s location and literary programming, so you can choose a simple shopping visit or check for an activity that interests you.
For a meal elsewhere along Central Avenue, Bodega’s St. Petersburg location in the EDGE District serves Latin street food, Cuban sandwiches and fresh juices. If you would rather shop for food to take home, Mazzaro’s Italian Market brings together pasta, deli foods, cheese, bakery items and coffee.
These are separate destinations, so check their locations before deciding how to travel between them. Choose the combination that fits your day, and use the businesses’ own sites for current menus, availability and visit details.
Plan with the official sources
This is an evergreen planning guide. Confirm access, opening times, admission, and program schedules with the venue before visiting.
