New York City Life: Getting a Drink Near Grand Central Terminal

Whether coming or going at Grand Central terminal or even if you're just passing through, it can sometimes be advantageous to grab a quick drink. But where to go? There are so many spots in New York City that you can go grab a drink at, it can seem a little bit daunting. There are chain restaurants, seedy looking Irish pubs, way too expensive high-rise condo/hotel bars with prices that are just as high out of reach; the options may seem limitless, making your overall selection moot.

However there is hope. There is one quiet (sic) little street where three bars lay in wait for the weary traveler or celebratory reveler and all are worth a consideration if you are trying to get a drink or a quick bite to eat on your way to or from Grand Central terminal.

New York City has long been known for its pubs. New York is a city of immigrants and the Irish immigrants were some of the first to come through and set up these pubs, many of which still exist today. One of these is our first stop on our pub crawl in the Grand Central terminal area and it's called Annie Moore's (50 E. 43rd St in New York, NY 10017). Open seven days from 11:30 a.m. until midnight, Annie Moore's is a respectable looking pub and restaurant on the outside and they make no claims other than being the "best pub food in Manhattan." The fare at Annie Morris includes stakes, seafood, burgers, sandwiches, chops, pasta, soups, salads, as well as some of their own brand of beer on tap. Many people get excited by this including my father so if you're ever meeting my dad the Grand Central terminal you should definitely stop inside! Annie Moore's also has a full array of other pub type food including shepherds pie, chicken pot pie, open faced turkey, fish and chips, and many of the other pub favorites.
