You're always finding "big" publicity stunts at Grand Central. (See October's pumpkin.) Now you can add cheese to the list.
Although some of the specialty shops in Grand Central Terminal’s Grand Central Market carry nice size hunks of cheese (large enough to keep any commuter entertained on the train ride home), none of those hunks is actually the size of a man. Enter Beemster, the gourmet Dutch Cheese Company, and its six-foot wide wheel of cheese. All 1,300 pounds of this massive cheese wheel will be on display at Grand Central on Wednesday, May 16. Although commuters can’t actually sample the big cheese, Beemster will likely be handing out (significantly smaller) samples of its organic mustard and garlic cheeses.
