How it works here

Tip: Tip 18-22% at sit-down restaurants, a dollar or two a drink at the bar.

Book: Book the hot places on Resy or OpenTable, often the day tables drop (2-4 weeks out); counters and slices are walk-in.

When locals eat: Lunch noon-2pm, dinner 6-9pm; it gets late only in the big cities.
