The Oyster Bar, GCT-NYC


Bobby Flay did a show on The Oyster Bar at Grand Central Terminal, in NYC. Since that show I have wanted to eat at The Oyster Bar. We got the chance a few days before the New Year. We arrived at GCT and it was packed! People were everywhere. There was a light show going on and people were crowed around taking pictures. My dad made a reservation for lunch and we headed out to check out a few sights. We went down to the Time Square, which was amazing to see so close to the ball being dropped. If you are a foodie it is also a lot of fun to walk through Grand Central Market. The food in this place is beyond inspiring! So much to see, taste, and buy!

Once back at GCT we headed to The Oyster bar for lunch. The ambiance is very cool. the subways tiles throughout do not give the chatter of the patrons anywhere to go but bounce around the area, so be prepared for the noise. The menu is stuffed onto an over sized piece of paper. We started with some soup and the bivalve platter. It was great!!! We shared a tuna salad and a pasta dish. Everything was very good. Next time I will not get anything cooked, ALL RAW! I did take a picture of the bivalve platter, but it was after we finished it off. Totally forgot to document before eating! If you like raw oysters and clams, or seafood in general it is a must eat at place!
