If you’re planning to take an out-of-towner to Grand Central Oyster Bar’s so-called “whispering walls” — where you can speak into one corner and the sound will travel diagonally to another — it could be more crowded.

Consider this a lead-up to next year, when the restaurant will turn 100 and undergo a bigger update — here’s hoping they don’t Algonquin-ize it. [Crain’s]
