Oyster Bar Franchise Opens In Brooklyn

The venerable seafood restaurant in Grand Central Terminal has crossed the river to give Brooklynites a taste of oyster stew, lobster pan roast, freshly shucked bivalves and other seafood specialties in a spacious room whose decor echoes the signature arches, tilework and lights of the original. This is one of several franchises, but the first in New York City. Bruce Fox, who is head of franchising, and Jonathan Young, who was a manager at the Grand Central restaurant, own the Brooklyn edition. The chef is Justin Ernsberger, who plans to vary the menu to feature many catches of the day. The Brooklyn location also has a seafood market with a counter for slurping oysters on the spot. The staff will provide recipes from the restaurant and offer cooking tips to shoppers. (Opens Dec. 11): 256 Fifth Avenue (Carroll Street), Park Slope, Brooklyn; 347-294-0596; oysterbarbrooklyn.com
