Cru is a European wine bar with stateside chic. More than 275 wines fill the Cru list; this comfortable, loungy space is ideal for digging in and selecting a bottle. Enjoy your wine while noshing on wine-friendly fare like charcuterie, oysters on the half shell or the caviar collection. More substantial offerings include a Cobb salad, a club sandwich, a flatiron steak with pommes frites and a roasted chicken breast with lemon-thyme jus. The spacious sidewalk cafe also has a European aura. If you ignore the passing beat cop and sports-jerseyed tourists, you might think you're on the Left Bank.
