Meet Inna and Anyuta Zelikson Founders
of Inaya Jewelry

The sisters behind INAYA Jewelry have a shared passion for gemstones and meaningful design, they’ve crafted timeless jewelry for over 20 years. The journey hasn’t been easy—breaking into the competitive jewelry industry while raising families required resilience and balance. For the Zeliksons, Women’s Month is a tribute to the strength of women, inspired by their grandmother’s resilience through World War II and their mother’s determination as an immigrant. At Grand Central, they’ve built lasting relationships with clients, celebrating life’s milestones and moments in this vibrant community.

Meet Tina Ceriello Owner of Ceriello Fine Foods

Her father founded the business in 1980, and Tina returned full-time at 23, building on the foundation he laid. While women in the grocery and food service industries were rare when she started, Tina has found success by blending her unique approach with the lessons she learned from her father. She’s inspired by the strength of mothers and grandmothers—both those she grew up with and those she encounters daily in her business. Tina is proud to have been a part of the Grand Central Market for 26 years, making this historic location feel like home.
