16 Restaurants To Make You Fall In Love With New York Again

"Grand Central Station is one of the most stressful spots to navigate in the city (second only to Times Square), packed with equal parts tourists staring obliviously at the celestial ceilings, and people who will never budget enough time to get from the subway to the Metro North, and are sprinting. But down below it all is the Grand Central Oyster Bar. This cavernous seafood spot opened in 1913, and while it was once full of businessmen slurping oysters, now it's just a break from the noise, and an oasis for perfectly fine clam chowder. Out there, it's loud, and someone just missed their train, but inside it's comfortingly quiet, and the couple at the table next to you have been coming here for around 50 years to eat the catch of the day.
