About First Crush
? ? ?
In February of 2002, Tom Derosa purchased and gutted the building at 32 Market Street, which had previously been the location of Robinson’s Market. Thus opened First Crush, Potsdam’s first (and only!) bistro/wine bar. In October of 2013, he sold the business to long-time manager Geralyn Barney. Shortly thereafter, Geri’s brother Alan came on board. Between the two of them, they have many years of experience cooking in fine dining restaurants.
