The Pennsy opened on January 11, right outside New York City's Penn Station.

Food courts are a great place to grab a quick bite to eat, whether it's while you're waiting to catch a train, taking a break from shopping, or just wanting to enjoy a nice lunch. But lately, famous chefs and other restaurateurs have taken the food court to the next level, bringing high-quality food and swanky interiors to the masses.

The newest celebrity chef food court, The Pennsy, recently opened near Penn Station in New York City. Located at the corner of 33rd Street and 7th Avenue, the food court is home to five high-end choices for a quality meal.

The Pennsy is a new, more casual home for some of New York's most well-known chefs, including Mario Batali, Mary Giuliani, Marc Forgione, and butcher Pat LaFrieda.
