- Note
- East Village Southern buffet from the Kisa team, at 166 1st Avenue, on Infatuation's October 5, 2026 toughest-reservations guide and on Resy. Infatuation says tables open 15 days ahead at 6pm. Resy's September 9, 2026 rundown says two weeks ahead at noon. Both are press, they name different hours, and neither is the restaurant's own page, so the hour stays unverified. Infatuation says more than half the seats are saved for walk-ins.
