looking for a great crepe restaurant in NYC

[sweetpotato]

Looking for a restaurant that makes wonderful sweet and savory crepes.
Any suggestions? I'm hoping to go on a Tuesday in April. Thanks!!

Anyone seen seaweed crepes on menu?

Is there a crepe place on 6th Ave, in the lower 20'S? I think I may have passed one there. Haven't partaken, tho.

Crepes du Nord is excellent.

I like Crooked Tree Creperie on St. Mark's in the East Village, but I might be partial to them for longevity reasons.

Yeah, I haven't been there in a few years, and I used to go there because I did laundry around the corner. I never found their crepes better than OK, but I liked the accompanying salad.

Creperie
135 Ludlow St
(between Rivington St & Stanton St)
It's a very small, very casual kind of a place, but the crepes are very good.

As far as I am concerned, there's only one place for authentic, tasty Breton crepes in NYC, with apologies to the fine chef at Bar Breton, it's Madeleine, the Crepe Lady.

This is very intriguing! Thanks for posting. I'll be checking out the Crepe Lady soon.

Yorkville Creperie, York Ave. between 83rd and 84th. Favorite sweet crepe is the country crepe (strawberry, banana, nutella). Favorite savory crepe is Crepe Bonjour (scrambled eggs, ham or bacon, cheese). Favorite brunch cocktail is peach madras (peach vodka, oj and cranberry juice). Great bohemian atmosphere. Nicest staff on the planet.

I ended up going to the Yorkville Creperie. I LOVED the style of the restaurant, bohemian
is the perfect word for it. The man making the crepes (who I assume is the owner) is an
absolute doll, too. Hubby and I had the breakfast crepe and also the cinnamon purse
(apples and cinnamon, brie and sliced almonds). Although tasty enough, we were disappointed at how underfilled we considered them to be (and pricey). We remember restaurants like La Crepe (in the 1980's) where they were so filled they were absolutely bursting all over the plate. I would have liked a bit more, here.
That said, if I lived in the neighborhood I would definitely try them again. Since I had
to take two trains to get there, initially, I left rather neutral about the place.

Crepes du Nord- a new place it is all the way downtown near wall street. Haven's tried it yet but it looks cute and smells delicious. They have sweet and savory crepes-the savory are made with buckwheat & the sweet are made with white.

Crepes on Columbus makes savory crepes w/buckwheat and sweet crepes w/white flour. I hesitate to call them either wonderful or great, but I've had some nice breakfasts there. I've also read (here) that the weekend man (the owner, I believe) is less reliable than the weekday man, so a Tuesday visit could turn out to be quite pleasant.

Could be that I visited on the wrong day, but I wasn't very impressed with their crepes.

Bar Breton (more upscale).

Cafe Henri (more casual)

These are the only two places I am aware of that make the savory crepe with buckwheat, which is how I prefer them. Would love to hear if other Chowhounders have other suggestions.
