GRAND BANKS

Grand Central Oyster Bar in the famous station is legendary, but have you tried Grand Banks? A celebrated, seasonal oyster bar aboard the historic wooden schooner Sherman Zwicker (built 1942), with views of the Hudson River, New York harbour and the Freedom Tower, it’s a fun little spot with very good oysters and tasty small plates – and a principled approach to sustainability. Open April to October, 3pm until midnight (weekends from 11am). About R39 ($3) an oyster, meals from R194 ($15), drinks from R130 ($10). Pier 25, Hudson River Park, Tribeca. Go by ferry or take the #1 subway line to Franklin Street Station, or the #1, 2,3, A or C trains to Chambers Street Station. grandbanks.org
