impressive array of
authentic flavors with a
French twist.
Happy Hour
Happy hour is Mon-Fri,
5pm-7pm, and offers two-for-one
beers, house wines,
signature margaritas and "Crazy
Water," Mexican-style
sangria.
Opened March of 2006, Crema
is located in the popular
Chelsea district and is
steps away from other famous
areas such as Union Square
Park, West Village, and the
Flat Iron District. Stepping
into Crema is always a warm
and welcoming fun time.
Crema’s Mexican designer
transformed the interior
space, playing with
traditional Mexican colors
and textures in a modern New
York way. The original
paintings on display were
custom created for the space
by the celebrated artist and
mother of the chef, del
Bosque. Julieta’s
extraordinary culinary gifts
excite and satisfy the
palates of her numerous fans
– from Mexican diplomats,
celebrities and couples on a
night out to our own
neighborhood regulars.
Crema delivers a higher
concept in Mexican cuisine.
