Grand Central Oyster Bar: All Aboard for Great Seafood

Great oysters await those who stop in at hectic Grand Central

Sometimes known more as “the restaurant by the Whispering Wall,” Grand Central Oyster Bar simply has the feeling of New York City.  Located between the upper and lower travel concourses at the incomparable Grand Central Station, the Oyster Bar always has a hectic, yet under control pacing to it that matches the feel and energy of the commuters and city it serves.  With a menu that changes daily – based on the catch – each trip provides a new experience.  The most popular dish, or rather dishes, are those little pieces of Heaven from the sea that give the restaurant its name – I mean of the course the oysters.

With typically over two dozen types of oysters available from the raw bar each day, the Grand Central Oyster Bar provides food lovers with a chance to expand their palate every visit.  For the novice, the very knowledgeable and helpful wait staff is an invaluable resource.  It doesn’t matter if you have had seafood for years or never had it before, these helpful men and women can match something new and exciting to your taste buds.  The Oyster Bar has become a mainstay with the commuter crowd, thanks to its quick service, large bar area, and impressive menu of domestic, microbrew, and imported beers on tap.  With such an easily accessible location, great service and even better food, it’s no wonder why the Grand Central Oyster Bar will have you coming back time and again.
