With NY Hamptons restaurants maxed out, some offer big bribes for table reservations
Fox News
A couple of weekends ago, Mitch Modell decided to try his luck at 75 Main in Southampton, since reservations for the month were already all claimed.
"After giving out a couple hundred dollars I still couldn’t get in, and my son said, ‘Dad, you are killing me. You have to go somewhere else or eat at home,’ ’’ reports Modell, 66, who owns a house in Bridgehampton. Finally he spotted two women finishing dinner and offered to pick up their bill if they allowed him to join their party. They agreed — and when they finished dessert, Modell co-opted the small table, inviting his five friends to sit down.More Related News
