Crudo by Don Pedro: Awnings and electric signage? Played out. Nowadays, if you want to get noticed you’d best do what Crudo does: Render your restaurant’s name into an ice sculpture and park it behind the bar (sounds like someone over there took notes at Dennis Kozlowski's parties). But somebody's gotta pay for all that ice, and it if you dine in this Wyndham Hotel restaurant, it looks like it's going to be you. Not that the food is bad at Jay Espinal's new Euro-Caribbean place; quite the opposite. It's just that, considering the restaurant features entrees like Capellos de Pechuga Organica, $17 (which is really just a chicken medallion dish) the food isn't nearly as adventurous as the names would suggest. In fact, aside from the ice folly, nothing about Crudo is all that noteworthy; the décor, crowd and wine list are all as standard-issue as its midtown location would suggest. Specialty cocktails are supposedly forthcoming, but for now you'll have to do with the $10 Crudo Mojito (which is, um, a mojito). In other words, prepare to over-pay to be underwhelmed.
