Getting a Table at a Hot Restaurant

Wednesday, 25 September 2013 | by Pat's Picks

The New York Times has some advice for landing a table at a popular restaurant. Waiting until the last minute can pay off - as reservations get cancelled or tables set aside for VIPs and family members get released back into the pool. There are now online services that will scan for open reservations and alert you by text or email when tables pop up. Or you can try grabbing a drink at your desired restaurant, then asking if there is a table available for the following weekend.
