"The easiest way from here to there"

Grand Central Parkway sounds like, well, it sounds like a tree lined PARK way, right? Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be this major freaking FREEWAY that runs right through Queens! And don't even think for a NY minute that you'll be able to figure out which side of GCP you need to be on, to get where you're going in Queens. The first two times I traveled on Grand Central Parkway, I had to call ahead and have someone "talk me in" to where I was going.

Though you can see multiple businesses FROM Grand Central Parkway, there are no businesses really situated on it (it being a freeway and all). However, at certain parts of the GCP there is a service road that runs alongside, and you can access some businesses that way. We like a couple of diners along GCP that fall into that category - but those are other reviews to be written.
