Aaaaah, mouthwatering. I love oysters and I am so going there next time I visit the apple.

Since my homeland Denmark is surrounded by salty seas, one would assume oysters are cheap as shit, but no no. Super expensive. It also has some kind of weird vibe among Danes – if you actually order oysters at your table in a restaurent, people give you the “wow, he really thinks he’s something, huh”-look. Showing off, flashing your bank roll at people’s noses. And then you sit there with a bottle of cheap champagne and a sorry plate of 4 oysters and feel ashamed, shallow and like a bad bad person.
I look forward to enjoying my oysters in peace at Grand Central.

Never gotten sick either. Would’ve went yesterday had Kayoko called me, since I’m just across the street! ;)

Nope, never gotten sick, and I’ve gone there at least 50 times in the last 8 years.

not to be a debbie downer but I always hear about people getting sick there. Have you ever felt a little sick or heard of anyone getting food poisoning from there?

Soul soothing for sure! Tried one for the first time at Clover Club…delicious.
