Before anything else, I would head down to the Grand Central Oyster bar inside the station and take in some bi-valves and seafood!

Then into the food concourse for Junior's cheesecake.

Ditto on the Oyster Bar suggestion. Sit at the Oyster Bar and order up a variety of oysters and some chowder as an appetizer before you head out for a real meal. Nothing special about the rest of the menu there.
Junior's strawberry cheese pie is one of my favorites!!

What kind of cuisine? Budget? Neighborhood? Are you French (your name suggests this)?
