- Homemade Red Velvet Cake
- Grandma’s Sweet Potato Pie
A growing culinary empire
This Grand Central outpost is just the latest addition to Melba Wilson’s growing New York presence. You can also find her delicious creations at Melba’s at The Prudential Center in Newark and Melba’s at Wollman Rink in Central Park.
Beyond the kitchen, Melba is celebrated as a powerful advocate and philanthropist in the NYC restaurant scene, earning the respect of industry professionals and loyal customers alike.
