Crush is an interesting establishment on 12 Avenue right across the street from Meineke. Interesting because it has a modern almost club-like look, but it feels more like a pub. I sat at the bar on Saturday night around 11:00pm and there were not many people here. I don't know why because I thought it was a fine place.
My drink and meal consisted of a Brew Brothers Black Pilsner and the Spolumbo's Rosse penne. The bartender (who may of also been the owner) was nice enough to tell me that the Guinness I originally ordered would probably not of come out correctly because of a problem with the tap. And after a good conversation about which beer might suite my taste we settled on the BBB Pilsner. I appreciated the time he took to figure out what might be the best drink for me.
The Spolumbo's Rosse Penne was delectable. The sausage really gave it a local taste. Made me think about the last time I went to Spolumbo's. Another interesting ingredient of the dish was sour cream. I have never had it with pasta before and though it was ok. It did serve to successfully cool the dish which was quite hot when I got it. It also worked to cool the spiciness of the sausage which might be great for those with milder tastes.
All in all, I like this place and will be back soon.
