Table for none! How NYC diners are forced to battle bots, apps and influencer hype at the city’s hardest-to-book restaurants

Securing a table at a top NYC restaurant has long required some planning and a great deal of patience. Lately, however, going out to dinner in the Big Apple has become a full-on competitive sport — call it the Hunger Games — complete with a list of unwritten rules and strategies for winning. Eager diners in the five boroughs and beyond have become accustomed to setting alarms for midnight reservation drops, they spend unhealthy amounts of time on Resy and OpenTable, hitting the refresh button, battling not just a bevy of bots unleashed online by shady third-party table brokers, but all-too-real influencers as well, not to mention the social-scrolling hordes who follow them from spot to spot. You thought queuing for Taylor Swift seats on Ticketmaster was hard? Try getting into the Polo Bar on a weekend — or any night. For avid Upper East Side eater Brittany Fried, 34, being told nothing’s available over and over again has become all too familiar — even after following the rule of logging in the moment a favorite restaurant like Torrisi releases new slots for the next month. “It literally takes the fun out of being someone who genuinely enjoys food,” she

Long promised floating East River pool to finally make test run this summer — in hopes of opening next year

This plan is finally making a splash. The long-promised and futuristic “+ POOL” will embark on a “dry” run in the East River this summer as the project makes glacial progress toward a launch — but don’t expect to take a dip in the waters anytime soon. The test of the floating concept pool — which will be filled with filtered river water — will take place over the next few months in order to answer questions about the safety and cleanliness of the bathing area before it’s fully open sometime next year. A pilot of the + POOL is coming to the East River this summer. Friends of + POOL/Facebook The pilot pool shell used for the dry run will be a smaller, rectangular version of the rec facility’s final form, which will be shaped like a cross. It will be deployed near Pier 35 and the Manhattan Bridge sometime in early July and will spend the summer undergoing weekly water quality testing. The pilot period is coming at the demand of the Health Department, which has raised a series of concerns about the innovative pool.
