Grand Central Oyster Bar & Restaurant

An absolute classic and a blessed time warp, set under a vaulted tiled ceiling, with efficient union waiters serving simple, great seafood. Prime seats are at the counter to your far right: watch the signature rich lobster stew made to order, in pots heated by the NYC steam system. Savvy commuters slurp oysters from a window behind.
