"Crevette opened in February, but the West Village restaurant is really a summer child, with its aperitifs, seafood plates, and pastel dining room. On this prime people-watching corner of 6th and Downing, the pastis gimlets are poured over crushed ice and a coriander mignonette takes oysters to new heights. When the sun dips low and you want something cozier than a crudo, go for the half-chicken with fries." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
