Grand Central Oyster Bar | NYC

H and I spent some time in NYC in January. These photos are from our lunch at the Oyster Bar in Grand Central Station. H wanted to try it out for ages. Me? I'm not so much of a seafood gal. But I knew he was excited and it was a great way for us to end our guided tour of Grand Central Station (It's free! and actually way more fun than I expected!) I went all fried with the calamari and he enjoyed some fried oysters and a bowl of seafood soup that was very rich and full of prawns, lobster and other seafood delights. H described it as "a gallon of cream with seafood in it."

The people watching was brilliant! There were a lot of people there who you just knew had been coming for years. Each section had their own waitstaff and we were seated right next to the kitchen so we got to watch some of the madness. The place is packed during a weekday lunch hour! If you like seafood, this is a great place. The menu changes daily based on the freshes catches at the market. There is also a limited take out window if you are on the go.

Oh I love that place. When Mum and I were in NY we went a few times and she really doesn't like oysters. A atmosphere is great. I wish Kings Cross station here had something like that instead of a handful of boring fast food joints.
