PDT (Please Don't Tell) Reservations

The East Village speakeasy that pioneered the format: you enter through a phone booth in the back of Crif Dogs, call the number, and wait to be let in. Owner Jeff Bell has maintained the program at a level consistent with its James Beard Award-winning legacy. The cocktails are superb and the inaccessibility remains half the point. Resy opens at midnight, 13 days out.
