![]() It was a restaurant I didn’t expect to love but fell for with whiplash swiftness, and came to respect for its smart business model and its risky concept (a basement fusion restaurant in a former porno theater that wore a combination coffee shop/restaurant/happy-hour bar like a very stylish hat). First, Schulson also opened Double Knot last year, where I had some of my best meals of 2016. There are two very obvious reasons why I might have felt this way. In ways I couldn’t really understand, being inside the machinery of Harp & Crown felt colder than being outside.Īnd it was the second time this had happened. I had eaten a meal and felt (almost) nothing about it, save fuller. That somehow this very carefully calculated experience, stage-managed at every step, had passed around me and through me like air, without leaving a mark. We ordered and drank and ate and paid, and on my way back out through the heavy curtains, as I turned my collar up against the wind, it occurred to me that I hadn’t had a very good time at Harp & Crown. Affectless pop music from hidden speakers filled the gaps in conversation. We asked for a booth and were shown to a deep four-top, candlelit, beneath framed antique portraits, pictures of flowers, and one of the huge exposed pulleys through which are threaded thick ropes that hold up the room’s massive chandeliers. The bar was a free-floating island (an oval of Ouroboros oak, set off from the main room and bathed in yellow light) that hummed with singles and couples drinking beer from a curated bottle-and-draft list and small groups gathered around tables that fell inside its bright corona. In cool banquette seats with round swing-arm tables, couples huddled together over cocktails with literary and historic names assembled with the care and inspiration of a grad student’s final thesis. Inside, long tables hosted big parties of the city’s hipsterati, laying waste to plates of roasted olives, beef tartare toasts, and leopard-spotted pizzas freighted with unusual ingredients (honey, octopus, shishitos). RECOMMENDED: Roasted olives, the halibut if it’s still on the menu, and a Dying Declaration from the bar.
