Dock's Oyster Bar: Break out the corporate credit card because Docks is perfect expense account fodder; its upscale and enjoyable enough to make you feel good about sticking the bill to The Man, but not so extravagant that the boss will have your head. A classic American seafood restaurant, Docks is home to fresh surf and solid turf. If youre not in the mood for snapper, theres a busy bar where you can set down your anchor for an after-work tipple. This place can get flooded with young professionals, and the Midtown locations proximity to Grand Central lends itself to commuters, so theres not much of a neighborhood feel. But if you can stand feeling landlocked shoulder-to-shoulder when the 5pm whistle blows, navigate your way to Docks, which also hosts a New England clambake on Sundays and Mondays. |
