The New York Times picked 27 Boston restaurants. Here is when they have room.
The New York Times picked the 27 best restaurants in and around Boston right now, from the North End to Somerville, Brookline and Quincy. Most are booked solid. A few barely take reservations at all. So here is every one of them, with each table's availability refreshed daily.
Find one you want. Scout it. We watch the table around the clock and text you the second it frees up. You book it yourself, in the app you already use.
Tock support coming soon.
