The Toughest Reservations In Philly Right Now (And How To Get Them) - Philadelphia - The Infatuation
"Verdict: Getting a reservation at Zahav feels like you’ve won the lottery, or at least Eagles season tickets. The Israeli spot in Old City has had nonstop hype since opening in 2008 thanks to its diverse and exquisite tasting menu (for under $100). From the creative haloumi and silky hummus to unbelievably tender pomegranate lamb shoulder, it’s all worth seeking out (and the whole city agrees). Snagging a table in the dining room is still near-impossible, but seats at the bar are usually available for the taking around 5pm. Reservations at Zahav are released on a rolling basis, 4 weeks to-the-day, one day at a time, at 11 am ET. The bar, where you can order a la carte or the whole tasting menu, is always available for walk-ins. Otherwise, see if your cousin who took Coding 101 can hack you a reservation." - candis mclean
