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.

How do I get a reservation at Crown Shy?
Name Crown Shy and the night you want. We book it on your account the instant a table opens or a cancellation appears, and you only pay if we actually get it.
Why is Crown Shy so hard to book?
Crown Shy is one of the most in-demand tables in Financial District. Prime-time seats are claimed within seconds of release, and many never reach the public at all, so refreshing on your own rarely works.
When do Crown Shy reservations open up?
Crown Shy releases tables on a set schedule, and seats also reappear when other guests cancel. We watch both around the clock and move the instant one opens, so you never have to refresh at midnight.
How much does it cost to book Crown Shy through The Elusive List?
One flat fee, charged only when we confirm your table. No table, no charge. Sign in to see the exact fee for Crown Shy.
