About Crown Shy Crown Shy is the first solo project of Chef James Kent. Inspired by James's upbringing in downtown New York and his experience leading the city's most celebrated kitchens, Crown Shy is a neighborhood seasonal restaurant elevated by fine dining training and technique. Located on the ground floor of Art Deco masterpiece 70 Pine Street, the dining room and bar occupy a series of rooms with floor to 16-foot-ceiling windows leading to an open kitchen.
