Rao’s is the hardest place to get a reservation in NYC and maybe the world. It is a little known fact that you can go to the bar for a drink. Hence I put it in the “bar” section. Because eating here will be almost impossible. So if you want to grab a drink M-F at the bar it’s quite the experience. You will see some famous people, mafiosos, politicians and other famous New Yorkers. If you dress up and give a good vibe occasionally the owner will walk up to you and ask if you are hungry. It’s happened to me a few times. No guarantees but it’s a good spot to stop in for a drink and people watch! Cash only.
