Streetlevel: Crave Returns as a Wine Bar

We’re happy to report that Crave — the restaurant-turned-catering company on Henry Street — is reopening tonight as a wine bar. Proprietor/Chef Debbie Lyn says “As the catering company flourished we heard so many stories and memories that were shared at Crave and it really made us miss everyone sitting at our tables, smiling, shaking our hands, telling jokes and enjoying our food.” The wine list will focus on “organic, biodynamic and energy efficient vineyards,” and the snack menu includes some intriguing items, like “house made Asian spiced beef jerky” and “dehydrated ancho chile cashews.” Hopefully, their business will be boosted by the foot traffic that Lucali brings to this stretch of the neighborhood.

Crave on Henry to Open a Wine Bar [Brownstoner]
Thanks, TrueNYer, for your relevant comment…
Now about the actual bar…
The wine list is really great. I have only been able to try their house wine. They have liter carafes for around $20!!
The food menu also seems to be pretty tight. I tried their spicy popcorn.
I want to go back and try more food…
the place could be good if the owner wasnt such a huge dirtbag. pay ur waitstaff like a normal person and stop cheating.
i loved crave. they had a lobster sandwich which is among the best things ive ever eaten.
You said it, woodys – I knew a few biodynamic winemakers when I was living in France, and it involves things like only pinching back the vines at the time of the full mooon, etc. Some of the wines are really very good, however!
Organic wine is yummy. The best wine though is the homemade stuff you get in red sauce old school places. the kind they put a slice of melon rind in.
biodynamic winemaking is a bit like voodoo. it’s really weird.
rob, that’s why I drink at home.
I’m sure all the people that own brownstones on the block will be happy with the decrease in strangers sitting on their stoop every night drinking out of plastic cups
“organic, biodynamic and energy efficient vineyards”
It’s truly sad that going out to drink has come too this.
