Crush Cafe opens

Crush, the fine-dining restaurant near Belvedere Square, has created a little outpost in Towson, called, appropriately, Crush Cafe. “We thought it was a good opportunity and in the right area,” said Crush’s chef/owner Daniel Chaustit by phone.

The upscale deli, at 210 W. Pennsylvania Ave., is near the Towson Courthouse, pictured, and the many law offices in the Baltimore County government seat.

It opened about a month and a half ago, but the restaurant is just starting to spread the word. You’ll find custom-made sandwiches like roasted turkey on ciabatta with Brie, apples, and honey mustard, and roast beef with arugula and farm cheese, Dan said.

The cafe also will serve Crush restaurant’s wonderful tomato soup with teeny, grilled-cheese-sandwich croutons, I’m told. It’s open from 7:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Mon.-Fri. The phone number is 410-825-3040.
