Getting a table at some restaurants these days requires careful skill and planning. Many of the most popular restaurants fill their reservation books months in advance, on the day they open them. New developments such as “table scalpers” who book reservations under fake names and then re-sell them to people, have even emerged. Katy Mclaughlin and Sarah Nassauer at The Wall Streat Journal did some heavy research to crack the code. Learn the basic rules they determined, here.

props to me!
whats the problem? Taco Bell always has tables open.
why can I picture Strum walking into a packed restaurant and yelling “great googly moogly,” or, after having a hostess tell her the restaurant is full, Strum saying “your mom is full”
haha, i can picture that too, jon! but what actually happened last time i walked into a packed restaurant with strum was that she put her name down and then left the restaurant to go next door and get drunk for an hour and a half while we waited for our table.
hey! you were getting drunk with me!
@ emily - haha, that is certainly the other alternative for Strum, she’s never one to pass up an opportunity for a drink
as an addendum: yes, i was drinking right along side of her, not to mention enjoying some pre-tapas tapas. both of these factors in combination made the wait much more bearable and our whole party agreed it was a brilliant suggestion.
pre-tapas tapas is key. Or Holato dare I say, deezul?
If you’re gonna use it please use it properly Strum, it’s dee-zuhl (pronounced dee-double e-dash-zull).
