Reservation for 4 at the famously exclusive Rao's in NYC
According to THE NEW YORK TIMES, a reservation at Rao's is STILL one of the hardest to get in New York. In fact, it's impossible. An East Harlem red-sauce institution, this 10-table Italian restaurant has a long history—the restaurant was established in 1896—of being next to impossible to book. Really, the only way to dine is by negotiating an invite from one of Rao’s rich-and-famous regulars. This table for four belongs to a long-time patron and is only for Tuesday nights. It's like going home to eat. You're expected, respected, celebrated—a part of la famiglia, and that is how it's been since Rao's first opened its doors.
Your winning bid gets you in. The rest is your dime, but it's worth it for the best seat in New York for family and food—in that order.
