"The people behind Crown Shy clearly never internalized the saying “A jack of all trades is a master of none.” Because even though this American spot in New York City works for just about any dining situation, it’s also ideal for all of them. Even the complimentary olive bread is reason enough to plan a celebratory dinner here, and the landmarked Art Deco space is an ideal venue to toast a long-overdue promotion or even longer-overdue breakup. But despite the high ceilings and special-occasion feel, there’s nothing stuffy about Crown Shy. The big portions of reasonably-priced American food, bass-heavy background music, and walk-in bar area keep it casual enough for a weeknight hang that just so happens to feature the best plate of chicken in NYC." - team infatuation
