I love this! I often complain about reservation culture and then gatekeep my few options. This is a much nicer and kinder way to do it!

I miss Oxomoco and Casa Enrique so much. 😭 never had a bad meal at either place

This is a very good reminder to go back to Oxomoco and Casa Enrique, two great restaurants I haven’t been to in years

Us O.G. New Yorkers hate this new Resy lifestyle! Proud to say, I am a frequenter of all. You must check out Little Grenjai on the border of Bed-Stuy and Clinton Hill for lunch. Their pad krapow smash burger (a double is mandatory) is revelatory! Also, love Di An Di in Greenpoint and the new Strange Delight in Fort Greene!

Hi Somsack, I’m a fan and would like to recommend Elephant & Castle on 68 Greenwich Avenue. It’s been there forever serving excellent burgers and amazing Caesar Salad. Leave room for the fabulous hot fudge sundae!
