We met friends stopping off in NYC enroute to Europe. We took train in from Ct. and wanted a quiet place to have some food and catch up with each other. We wandered around GCT so many choices. We liked their menu and most of all their welcome and hospitality. The servers were gracious friendly, efficient. The food wonderful, prompt and beautifully presented.

Kath, our tour guide was very knowledgeable, coupled with a good sense of humour. However, we encountered lots of issues with the head sets so missed key details. Also from the little information provided by Viator it was very difficult to identify the meeting point for this tour.
