Update (July 2007): Chef LoPinto has left Crave. Expect dumbing down of the menu.
Beets and duck confit. Excellent dish. A study in balance. Housemade confit.
Update: Monkfish and white beans. Classic LoPinto. Herbal. Just salty enough. Luscious. Near perfect.
2004 Benziger Merlot at 32 bucks. Sign me up and keep me signed up.
Dessert coming up.
Update: the bathroom door signs are maddening. Like taking a tinkle IQ test to pick the correct door. Particularly confusing if you're a boy who likes to sit when he pees...or so I'm told.
Update: The bar at Crave is the kind of place where an inordinate amount of people think vodka is interesting.
Update: What happened, did the Internet go down? Not one person has read this since I started. Do you know how difficult it is to type all of this nonsense on an iPhone? You ungrateful bastards.
Update: Chef LoPinto sent out too many desserts (and I paid for them in the interest of disclosure). I've acknowledged before that we know each other, for the record. He has a way with sweets as much as savory.
All done.
