The 22 Best Seafood Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"It’s been too long since you visited Grand Central Oyster Bar. We get it—subjecting yourself to a Grand Central Terminal visit without a train to catch feels wrong. But underneath all the tourists staring obliviously at the celestial ceilings lies Grand Central Oyster Bar, the cavernous seafood spot where you should eat raw oysters at least once a year. Order a dirty martini, skip the rest of the menu—except for the clam chowder—and let whoever’s shucking decide on your dozen. It’s a NYC institution, and the couple at the table next to you have been coming here for around 50 years to eat the catch of the day." - bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman
