Crown Shy - New YORK

The very pedigreed team of James Kent (formerly second-in-command at Eleven Madison Park) and Jeff Katz (managing director of Del Posto) debuted Crown Shy, a more casual endeavor in the Financial District. The a la carte menu traverses the world, including dishes like white bean hummus with nduja and puffed bread: cavatelli with chicken liver ragu and horseradish: and charred octopus with red rice and morcilla. Dessert like sticky toffee pudding is from Renata Ameni, former executive pastry chef at three-Michelin-starred California restaurant Manresa. It’s already proving to be an industry favorite.
