It’s hard to ignore the large neon sign above the Grey Lady that reads: Oyster Bar. If you’ve ever wandered through the Lower East Side, chances are you’ve seen it, but if you haven’t stopped by for a beer and some oysters, then maybe give it a chance.
Grey Lady is pretty, it’s on a corner, they have good beer, and they serve fresh oysters. And if you love New England, Nantucket specifically, it might feel like a friendly reminder of home. There’s plenty of room, a few couches, and a nice long bar where I usually sidle up when I’m ready for a quick bite.
Grey Lady is the sort of place I stop by when I’m in the neighborhood and I want to grab a few oysters and a pint without too much fuss. They have a decent selection, but to be honest I usually just go for whatever is on happy hour. I sit back, enjoy my beer, maybe do some people watching through the window, and chat with the bartender.
It’s easy, friendly, and rarely overcrowded. And of course, if you’re also in the mood for a lobster roll, then go right ahead and get one. Or two.
The Deal
Last I checked they had $1 oysters from 5-7 and a few bucks off draft beers. But I can’t find any details on their site, so give them a call if you’re curious.
The Location
Grey Lady is at 77 Delancey St on the corner of Allen.
