With a dark, extremely exclusive atmosphere, Crown is one of those new, new York spots where people go to see and be seen. It’s also a spot where, if you don’t get seated, you suddenly feel like the last kid picked for kickball. Despite all this though (after all, it is what comes with eating in Manhattan), it’s a fun scene with a great contemporary American menu. If you go, be ready for a bit of a splurge price-wise… Make a Reservation.
