"They call it “grand” for a reason. Grand Central Terminal is one of the most majestic places in all of New York City, and Grand Central Oyster Bar is a restaurant worthy of the station’s lofty tiled arches. The next time you're passing through, find a seat at the counter in this cavernous 111-year-old institution, and order at least a dozen oysters. The cooked dishes are a mixed bag, but the raw selections taste far better than you’d expect in an underground transit center. For more of a secret hideout experience, adjourn to the cave within a cave that is the windowless Saloon. Wherever you sit, order a strong dirty martini served with a bonus sidecar, and test out the whispering arches before leaving." - molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, neha talreja
