I dunno about you, but when I’m at Grand Central and need to grab something to eat, my first priority is that it is fast and wont stink up the train car.

However, for some people, and it seems largely for business travelers, the Oyster Bar is an incredibly convenient and appropriate place for a nice sit-down dinner meeting with visitors from out of town. It also has a little take-out window that serves the impatient like me, serving somewhat infamous seafood sandwiches and soups.

However, I have never had the opportunity to enjoy their cuisine, opting usually for a Jamaican Jerk pocket or a sandwich accompanied by one of those enormous cans of beer wrapped in a paper bag (well, on the ride *home*, at least).

Chowhound.com, which has an excellent reputation for keeping tabs on NYC’s culinary hotspots, has a forum discussion of opinions of The Oyster Bar from people who *have* been there, which you may find interesting if you are contemplating their particular flavor of Grand Central dining.

The consensus - fantastic NYC atmosphere and a great place to enjoy a few oysters and a beer - but the rest of the menu doesnt live up to the prices…
