The Toughest Reservations In NYC Right Now (And How To Get Them) - New York - The Infatuation

"Verdict: The run of exciting new downtown wine bars continues. It’s not yet on the level of Sunn’s or Ha’s Snack Bar, but this closet-sized spot from a King co-owner has an impressive wine list and creative Chinese-American small plates worth seeking out. Bring a date, drink some German chardonnay, and order the sweet and sour short rib. Most tables are held for walk-ins, but Lei does release some reservations two weeks in advance at 9am. The place only has 24 seats, and they fill up quickly, so get here around opening at 5pm if you don’t want to wait." - bryan kim
