Sphinxlike restaurant newsletter She Loves NY has a new, inexplicably brilliant edition out and the RESY index ("the time at which one can secure a same day reservation for a party of two") is particularly surprising:

caf grey — 823 6338 — 1 ring, 5:45 or 10:30
lure fishbar — 431 7676 — 1 ring, i can do 8:15
silverleaf — 973 2550 — 6 rings, this is kelly, whenever you like
barmarche — 219 9542 — 1 ring, 8

3 perfect dining times out of 4? We might be on the verge of a momentous shift in the reservation paradigm.
