Ha's Snack Bar

Where To See & Be Seen In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Ha’s Snack Bar is so tiny that there’s no real way to stare at people without them staring right back. Nobody seems to care. At the hottest pop-up turned hottest restaurant, the people-watching starts in the line, where fish sauce-hopefuls with a loose definition of 9am-5pm show up early for a shot at a rather uncomfortable stool inside this Lower East Side spot. Inside, everybody’s clutching a tiny wine glass, which is poured by a server who, yes, was in that sitcom. As far as we can tell, Ha's Snack Bar releases reservations about 20 days in advance. But those are extremely hard to come by. Your best shot is grabbing a walk-in seat. The place opens at 5:30pm, and if you get there by 4:45, you'll probably make the first seating at the bar. Arrive after 5pm, or with more than a couple of people, and you might have to wait a few hours." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman
