Grand Central Oyster Bar

The extensive menu here includes more than 50 kinds of fresh seafood and oysters from both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. The best bet is to keep it simple and grab a seat at the old-fashioned oyster bar to sample some of the ultra fresh bivalves and watch the shuckers expertly work the shells. Tucked into a lower level of Grand Central Terminal, the restaurant reflects the station's iconic architecture with arched ceilings and tiles. Just outside the restaurant there is the archway known as the Whispering Gallery, where the astounding audio phenomenon must be heard to be believed.
