City Crab looks like
an expensive suit joint in that "whatever" neighborhood above Union
Square and East of The Flatiron District. Well, whatever 'hood it
is, looks can be deceiving. Inside, the place is cavernous, with two
full levels of tables, several bars and tons of wood. It has the obligatory
lobster/crab tank with rubber-banded crustaceans trying their hardest
not to look delicious, good looking waitstaff and a semi-nautical
motif. The food is far from outrageously good, but the Sunday jazz
brunch is pretty cool, as you munch on a soft-shelled crab sandwich
and listen to a groovy trio belt out some tunes. Amazingly, the prices
are lower than one would expect, and it does have a fun atmosphere
that would be perfect for a larger group or out-of-town guests. [MF] |
