2013 – Grand Central Oyster Bar 100th Anniversary
Oyster Bar has a great deal to celebrate in 2013 as the restaurant turns 100 years old, marking a century of tradition and new ventures like the ESOP. “For our birthday we joined the American Cancer Society and the Alzheimer’s Association to host a private buffet-style dinner to raise money for both organizations,” reveals Janet. “We’ve been doing this event for about three years now and it’s a huge success.”
As Oyster Bar welcomes a new century of continued success, Janet, Mohammed, and Sandy reflect on its rich history and the development of an employee-owned establishment that will carry on a tradition for years to come. The Grand Central Oyster Bar, Inc. remains a New York City landmark devoted to serving the finest quality seafood supported by invested employees.
