Two for Eight

Prime Table Available at Jean Georges


Every day between three and four in the afternoon, we’ll call ten restaurants to find out whether you can get a table for two at eight that night — and if not, what the next best option is. We make the calls, but we don’t guarantee the results. (With a nod to RESY.) Today: Flagships.
