Oyster bar!

[gtvlad]

On a recent trip to Boston began for the first time to eat and enjoy oysters. Liked having the choice to try oysters from different areas also. Looking for an option like this in Manhattan suggestions please!!

for my take on the GCOB
one of my favorite NYC places spend time

And I have to disagree with you about the fried clams.

Fish (on Bleecker Street) has their Red,
White & Blue Special: six Blue Point oysters and a glass of red or white wine or a can of PBR for $8. It's the best deal in the city.

I love the raw bar selections at Balthazar.

Aquagrill is great. I also like the oyster selection at Lure, and during happy hour oysters are only $1.

The Oyster Bar is a New York Classic. While the atmosphere may be a bit sparse I still enjoy a cold beer and their always very fresh oysters. One high point is they always have a good selection of Long Island oysters the others often don't have. Local means fresher!

Aquagrill, in Soho, usually has a wide selection of oysters.

How about.....the Oyster Bar. Downstairs in Grand Central. Easily the most varieties of oysters under one roof, unless there's a place I don't know about. Ordering a mixed dozen of 4 types is a fun way to compare/ contrast.

Aquagrill is better.

A lot more pleasant, too, in my opinion.

Wow, that looks amazing. 'Course I DO just love the atmosphere of the Oyster Bar at GC (in the back dining room).
