Grand Street was founded as a quarterly magazine by Ben Sonnenberg in 1981 and underwent a significant transformation under the leadership of Jean Stein in 1990, embracing a format that highlighted visual art and sought to introduce international authors and artists to its readership. With the introduction of theme-driven issues, such as "Oblivion," "Hollywood," and "Berlin," the publication cultivated a dynamic collection of ideas, styles, and genres, showcasing contributions from notable figures like Terry Southern and Kenzaburo Oe.

Despite ceasing publication in fall 2004, Grand Street left a lasting impact on the literary and visual art community, featuring a rich array of themes and perspectives over its lifespan. The magazine's archives are accessible through JSTOR, preserving its legacy for future exploration.
