Restaurant Week Obsession: Crown Shy's Bread Stole the Show! 🥖✨
Finally got to try Michelin-starred Crown Shy during NYC Restaurant Week—and wow, what an experience! Located inside the iconic Art Deco masterpiece at 70 Pine Street (FiDi), this place dazzles from the moment you step in. Soaring ceilings, vintage glamour, and floor-to-ceiling windows? Yes, please! 🏙️💫 The Must-Try MVP: Their Pistachio Pesto Bread is LEGENDARY. Served piping hot with a crispy crust, fluffy interior, and nutty aroma—it was so good, we almost canceled the rest of the meal to order more. 10/10 would carb-load again. 🥖💚 Full Menu Breakdown: 🥗 Starters: • Romaine, Green Goddess, Breadcrumbs – Fresh and crunchy, but not mind-blowing 🥬 • Kibbeh Nayeh (Beef Tartare) + Lavash + Labneh – Spiced Middle Eastern flavors with crispy flatbread and cool yogurt sauce. Unexpected highlight! 🥩🌿 🍽️ Mains: • Pan-Seared Cod with Mole Rojo – Perfectly crispy skin, tender fish, and a subtly sweet Mexican-inspired sauce. Summer salad balanced it beautifully! 🐟🔥 🍨 Desserts (biased—I’m not a sweets person!): • Satsuma + Honeycomb + Toasted Marshmallow – Fun textures but sugar overload 🍊🍯 • Mango + Coconut + Crème Fraîche – Creamy and tropical… but still so sweet 🥥🍰 Why Crown Shy Shines: ✨ Affordable luxury – Restaurant Week prix-fixe is a steal for Michelin quality ✨ Stunning setting – Feels like dining in a 1930s financial tycoon’s club 💼🍸 ✨ That BREAD – Worth visiting for this alone Pro Tips: • Book early – Reservations vanish fast! ⏳ • Dress smart-casual – The vibe is upscale but not stuffy 👔 • Ask for extra bread – Seriously. Do it. 🥖🔥 Perfect Pairings Nearby: • Dead Rabbit (3 min walk) – World’s best bar for post-dinner cocktails 🥃 • Stone Street – Cobblestone block packed with historic pubs 🍻 #NYCRestaurantWeek #MichelinStarEats #CrownShyNYC #FiDiFoodie #70PineStreet #BreadHeaven #ArtDecoNYC #BudgetLuxuryDining #NYCLife #FoodieGram
