MEET THE CHEF
Zach Bondy
A New York native, Chef Zach Bondy developed his love of food watching his grandmother make brisket and gefilte fish in her Pittsburgh, PA kitchen. He began his career at the Black Point Inn in Portland, Maine before working under David Burke and Laurent Tourondel and moving between New York City, Washington DC and New Orleans. His time in New Orleans especially deepened his appreciation of a variety of cuisines, from working at Mopho to trying local spots like Peche Seafood Grill. He looks forward to bringing his passion and experience to Cornelius.

Cornelius at Grand Central

Cornelius Restaurant at Grand Central pays homage to the industrious American business icon Cornelius Vanderbilt. Nicknamed “the Commodore” and best known for his hard work ethic and competitive business tactics, Vanderbilt came from humble beginnings and grew into a titan of the shipping and railroad industries. A key player in the construction of Grand Central Terminal’s predecessor Grand Central Depot which opened in 1871, Vanderbilt’s vision for midtown Manhattan is alive and well in this illustrious space.
