Crush

Frommer's Review

Crush is part bistro and part wine bar, and its atmosphere is entirely convivial. The high-ceilinged, warehouselike space has a huge open kitchen, so you can be entertained by the goings-on that are usually kept behind the scenes. Both the goat-cheese-and-tomato napoleon and the mussels on the half-shell topped with escargot butter make great opening acts. The juicy pork chop in Madeira sauce is a star in its own right. The wine list is diverse, with many varieties available by the glass (you can even choose whether to have a 3- or 5-oz. serving, a boon for oenophiles who want to try new things). Service is smooth and obliging, making this a great place to go if you're planning on catching a show at one of the nearby theaters. The only potential problem with Crush is the decibel level: This is a lively spot, and warehouse spaces aren't known for great acoustics.
