Talk about a triple threat: Not only is Crescent Ballroom a much-hyped new music venue (past acts include St. Vincent, Friendly Fires and Maria Taylor), but it also has a full-bar lounge with live music every day and a kitchen, Cocina 10, helmed by the inimitable Chris Bianco of Pizzeria Bianco fame and Doug Robson of Gallo Blanco. It’s a mouthful. It’s also one of the city’s adaptive reuse projects, located in the historic F.L. Hart Garage, built in 1917. The combination of old and new – plus the good music, food and booze – make the Crescent Ballroom the best venue to engage all your senses.
