NYC · Large groups
New York rooms where a cited page names a party cap, a private-dining path, or a buyout email. A restaurant that only says “reservations recommended” is not listed.
Difficulty on this page is a Midnight Table estimate, not official Resy or OpenTable data, and not a guarantee of a table. Each note was checked on the date printed under that restaurant. A restaurant can change the rule after that.
Alerts is $12 a month and watches the drop. Concierge books in your name, on the restaurant's own platform. Membership and pricing. The Guestlist is the free weekly letter.

Where a source prints a clock time and leaves off the time zone, the time is quoted that way. A seat count is quoted only when that page prints one.
