About Crown Shy
Crown Shy opened in the financial district early 2019 and is a partnership between the chef James Kent, formerly of The NoMad, and Jeff Katz, managing partner at Del Posto. The building is a 67-stories beauty from 1932 that was recently converted into apartments and hotel rooms. The venue is expansive and beautiful, and the food has earned rave reviews, but we would like to point out the wine selection (see below). The place is busy and appreciated by financial types and wine lovers alike. (The name? It refers to tall trees, and yes, you can guess the address or find it here on the page).
The wine list at Crown Shy has modest pricing for a fine Manhattan space. Besides the expected range of famous wines from France (grower Champagne and top Burgundy of course), there is also a good selection of wines below 100 dollars per bottle. As a European visiting New York, it's always fun to test the selection of American wines, and Crown Shy does not disappoint.
