The Oyster Gourmet

Set amid the crowds and the urban commotion of Grand Central Market, The Oyster Gourmet is an unusual-looking, vaguely-steampunky small wooden stand designed to look like a giant open oyster shell. And as you might expect, they’ve really only got three things on the menu (besides wine)–and the one most worth your time is the plate of oysters. The selection constantly changes, and the shuckers are super knowledgeable–so even if you don’t know the difference between a Blue Point and a Wellfleet, they’re always happy to help you figure out what you’ll like.
