Grand Central Oyster Bar & Restaurant

Set beneath the main terminal of Grand Central Station in a cavernous space with arched and vaulted tiled ceilings, this oyster bar has the ambiance and décor of a 1960s throwback (Formica counters, modular stools). But its seafood is up-to-the-minute fresh: More than 25 oyster varieties are served daily, along with terrific pan roasts, stews and catches of the day.
