Today's Lunch: Grand Central Oyster Bar

By The Park Slope Gastronome Sep 28, 2007

Today I had lunch with my boss Rob at the Grand Central Oyster Bar, which is in Grand Central Station, perhaps my favorite building in the city. We sat at one of the rickety U-shaped counters and were each immediately greeted with a plate of everything-flavored flatbread as well as a crumbly sweet biscuit-like roll. These flatbreads are so good. There's just the right amount of each seasoning portioned out, unlike everything bagels which taste like salt licks half the time. Having ingested a large quantity of fried food (chicken hands, mozzarella sticks, wings, etc...) yesterday at an off-site work outing, I tried to steer away from... FULL REVIEW

Not Worth The Ticket

By André Mika's Fork New York Mar 10, 2007

Grand Central Oyster Bar Sadly Disappoints Let me first preface this blog by saying that no one wants to be blown away by a restaurant more than I. When a restaurant gets it right… the food, the service, everything… it makes me downright giddy. I’m not that hard to impress. The Oyster Bar in Grand Central just blew it. I was excited about this visit, as a kid born and raised in South Louisiana, I know seafood. I know fish, I know crab, I know oysters. This was gonna be good. But from the moment I hit the door, the evening started heading south.. and there was simply nothing I could do about it. At a glance, the place reeks of... FULL REVIEW

Underground Dinner at the Oyster

By NYC Nosh Feb 09, 2006

Last week, before the recent cold snap took hold, Nosher and I went out to celebrate a successful speaking engagement of mine. On the basis of a recent Time Out mention, we originally intended to meet at Papillon, a new French bistro in Midtown, but the prices advertised in the window were almost twice as much as we expected and so, despite the nice-looking menu, we decided to pass. Remembering a fine meal I ate at the Oyster Bar last year, I took us on a detour 12 blocks to the south and into the great hall of Grand Central Station FULL REVIEW

Oysters and Oy

By VittlesVamp Sep 22, 2005

I've always adored the Grand Central Oyster Bar - for the sweeping Guastavino architecture, for the vaguely fishy odor that hits you when you enter, for their amazing wine list, for their amazing oyster list, for - simply put - simply being a New York classic. When I usually go, I head straight for the Saloon in the back, a well-tended room with a purposefully stale 1974 aura, and one of the city's best bartenders - Alex. FULL REVIEW

Quick Bites: HerringFest

By The Hedonista Jun 16, 2005

I'm now officially in love with the herring. A trip last week to Grand Central Oyster Bar's Herring Festival struck me smitten with the briny, oily flesh of these little guys. FULL REVIEW

My high school friend Dana works at a law firm near Grand Central Station. The other day we were chatting and we decided to lunch. "What's good around Grand Central?" she asked. FULL REVIEW

The Oyster Bar

By The Strong Buzz May 05, 2003

Chaos has never been more fun than at the Oyster Bar. Packed to the gills at lunch and dinner daily, this Grand Central icon is one of the best places to gorge on all sorts of seafood. The room feels like you have gone back in time, with vaulted subway-tiled ceilings, and waiters that have been working here since Nixon was in the White House. As for the grub, there are over two-dozen varieties of oysters to choose from, as well as all sorts of chowders, fish sandwiches, fish entrees, and, well, you get the idea. If it swam or even sat in water, it’s on the menu. If you are on the run, don’t worry. Just grab a seat at the bar or one of the old-fashioned lunch counters for a quick lunch. FULL REVIEW
