I don’t always go to the Upper West Side, but when there’s a seafood brunch hosted by #ReadySetJo at CRAVE FISHBAR involved you can bet I’m making some exceptions to enjoy a sustainable seafood brunch sourced right from Long Island amongst good company. 

The champagne oyster shots are good reason enough to make the trek if you’re not a Manhattanite, but it’s the food that will have you coming back for such great tastes:

Fried fish and waffles, because chicken and waffles just wasn’t enough:

The kind of buns you really want to grab, sticky with whisky vanilla bean icing:

Bangkok Red Eye, a boozy cream coffee cocktail:

Roasted tomatoes with herb oil, you know, just in case you were feeling healthy:

Crab and Gruyere omelette with roasted onion, fresh radish, and mixed greens:

Baked eggs with chorizo, tomato, cheddar, green onion, and toast:

Oysters a plenty:

Lobster and poached eggs with creamed kale, and grilled bread:

“I’m Kind of a Big Deal” gin cocktail with roasted pepper, dill, and agave:

Crave has two locations and their latest weekend brunch addition on the Upper West Side is a real catch (hehehe). 

If you’re in the area or just really want some delicious seafood head on over!
