Where to Find a Table for Two in New York

Here’s a rundown of what a few of New York’s finer restaurants responded when they were called and asked when would be the best time to squeeze in a table of two for dinner.
According to Grub Street New York who did the calling, some restaurants were booked to the max around 8 p.m.; however, of those, all of them were more than happy to accommodate a table of two at a later time.
