Jason Wagner IN at Union Square Cafe, Mick Jagger Hits Up Greenpoint Dive, and More Intel

— Union Square Hospitality Group has tapped Jason Wagner, the opening GM and beverage director at Fung Tu, to be the wine director at the new and improved Union Square Cafe. Years ago, Wagner was the wine director at L’Atelier de Jöel Robuchon in the Four Seasons Hotel, and he received certification from the Court of Master Sommeliers and American Sommelier Association. Union Square Cafe 2.0 is still a few months away from making its grand debut on the corner of Park Avenue South and East 19th Street.

He’s raising money for the Anti-Violence Project, a local organization that aims to protect minority communities from anti-LGBT violence.

— Hungry City critic Ligaya Mishan visits Crabby Shack, a two-year-old seafood restaurant in Crown Heights: "After the brightness of fresh crab, I was resistant to crab immured in a grilled cheese stippled with chives, or in an otherwise respectable mac and cheese. But the crab roll is lovely, shredded crab and lengths of merus meat from the fattest part of the leg, christened in garlic butter, then tucked into a Martin’s potato bun, as God intended."
