Opened in 1913 on the lower level of Grand Central Terminal, Grand Central Oyster Bar & Restaurant's vaulted tile ceiling serves as an ornate setting for what remains the quintessential old school oyster bar experience in the city. From
OpenTable and the restaurant:
""A New York landmark with Guastivino-tiled vaulted ceilings. There are two dining rooms open for reservations and walk-ins. The oyster bar, lounge, bar, and counter seating are open to first-come, first-serve customers. There are 450 seats for you to choose from, and we offer 25-30 varieties of the freshest oysters and seafood."
