It is not a Resy problem. It is a two-room problem.
Crown Shy is the ground-floor à la carte room at 70 Pine — same building as Saga upstairs, same group (James Kent and Jeff Katz), one Michelin star, and a wide menu that runs from Gruyère donuts to dry-aged duck.
Resy releases nightly tables on a rolling window. The bar (large, seats fifteen) takes walk-ins and serves the full menu. The downstairs Overstory cocktail bar with the open-air sixty-fourth-floor terrace is a separate reservation worth knowing about.
