What Happened To Knowing Somebody
“Knowing somebody” - used to be the sure way of getting a table at the “hottest” restaurant of the moment - add to that - opentable.com - and you could book the reservation online - provided the table was available -
Now - for $450 per year/ $45 per incident - primetimetables.com - promises to get you “in” - can the auction site - eFood.com be far behind -
January 22, 2007 — FORK IT OVER ONLINE FOR HOT RE$ERVATIONS - Braden Keil & Leonard Greene - If you don’t mind answering to someone else’s name or dropping $45 before you even leave home, you, too, can get reservations at such current hot spots as Daniel or Per Se.
PrimeTimeTables.com promises - for a fee - to take the pain and frustration out of getting into the city’s most popular restaurants, including new ones.
Also available is access to places in the Hamptons, Miami and San Francisco, with Boston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Philadelphia on a future menu.
Diners can pay $450 annually or an as-they-go fee, usually $35 to $45 per reservation.
