Secret meeting to get crack on street (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tryst

'secret meeting' is the definition.
(tryst can mean a secret meeting between lovers)

'crack on street' is the wordplay.
'crack' becomes 'try' (I've seen this in another clue).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'try'+'st'='TRYST'

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tryst that I've seen before include "cattle-fair" , "(Secret) meeting between lovers" , "Secret assignment" , "Romantic assignation" , "Romantic meeting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
