17 Previously Impossible Reservations That Are Easy Now - New York - The Infatuation

"How Far In Advance Should You Book? Like a few other spots on this list, Bonnie's is only tough on weekends. Book a week ahead for those tables. This Williamsburg restaurant, which opened in 2021, is still busy, but it’s no longer camp-out-on-the-sidewalk-the-day-before busy. Is that because their Cantonese American food has gone downhill? No. It’s just what happens when the hype train moves on to, say, a new bakery or wine bar on the Lower East Side. Tables on the patio are especially easy to get your hands on, and the MSG martini and salt and pepper squid taste just as good out there." - bryan kim
