The Restaurant at Crosby Street Hotel

"None of this comes cheap, but with an on-site movie theater, fabulous location, and very good restaurant, the Crosby Hotel is perfect for a special-occasion stay"

"The Crosby Bar (and restaurant), which serves classic American and British dishes, is an eccentrically styled space with psychedelic crystal lights, a wall of vintage telephones, and a touch of taxidermy"

"YOU SHOULD KNOW This hotel lacks a destination restaurant, which is fairly common in upscale New York hotels"

"The hotel manages to be both lavish and welcoming, especially at the restaurant and in the vibrant public spaces"

"Spacious, individually designed rooms have loft style windows that allow in plenty of light, a private courtyard provides a green oasis in the city, and the restaurant serves excellent seasonal cuisine using ingredients from the rooftop garden"

"Like its British cousins, Crosby Street has a carefully selected art collection, a guests’ drawing room in addition to its public restaurant and bar, a slick, 100-seat screening room and a verdant garden"

"I thoroughly enjoy overhearing their conversations and it is with indignation and tipsiness Mr Smith shuffles me to dinner in the ground-level restaurant or, as they would prefer you think of it, ‘a great bar that serves great food’"
