15 Great Walk-In Only Restaurants For When You Didn’t Make A Reservation
"The menu at Birdie’s changes constantly, so try not to get too attached to that plate of cavatelli you had the other night that made your Tuesday night feel like a Friday. This natural wine bar and restaurant on East 12th Street is basically a cozy, walk-in only neighborhood cafe with a menu of small, seasonal plates pulling from American, Italian, and French influences. Birdie’s is ideal for date night, so even if you forgot to grab a reservation ahead of time you can just say “Birdie's doesn’t take reservations” and nobody has to know about your last-minute scramble. Don’t worry, the line moves pretty fast, and you can drink wine while you wait. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
