Where To Hang Out Near 14 Restaurants With Long Waits

"The Waiting Room: Mr. Melo The Back-Up Plan: Rocka Rolla  We have no idea how long it’ll take for you to get seated as a walk-in at this legendary Williamsburg Italian restaurant. Seriously, your guess is as good as ours. But instead of agonizing over your future table, might we suggest a vinyl listening bar? Mr. Melo is a four-minute walk away, and it’s where you should listen to some calming music and drink a feta brine martini. Alternatively, consider caffeine. Alcoholic caffeine, in the form of Rocka Rolla’s Coffee Drink, which is sort of like a Frosty with brown liquor. That’ll keep you wide awake and ready for a dainty bowl of pink peppercorn pasta." - willa moore
