Last updated . Source: SnagRes availability record, 61,530,416 checks across 284 restaurants through 19 October 2026. How we measure. Open dataset.
Ranked by the share of dates with a bookable table for two: Musaafer (33%), Ito (50%), Atera (60%), Au Cheval (67%), ICCA (77%) and Jungsik (80%). Of the Tribeca rooms we track, none read 0%, against seven in the West Village.
Au Cheval releases at 9 AM on Resy, about 20 days out, and is open on 67% of dates for two and 67% for four. Thursday is its easiest night at 67% and Monday its hardest at 65%. It spans 11:00 AM to 11:30 PM, with 64% of openings early and 10:30 PM the single most common slot.
The most bookable are Jungsik (80%), ICCA (77%), Au Cheval (67%) and Atera (60%). Jungsik and ICCA are both on Tock, 5 days out, reaching 100% on Thursdays and 100% on Thursdays respectively. Atera is open on 100% of Fridays and 44% of Thursdays.
Jungsik is open on 80% of dates for two and 73% for four. It books on Tock, releases at 11 AM, and reaches 5 days out. Thursday runs at 100% and Saturday at 75%. It has not opened a table on Mondays in our checks, which usually means it is closed then. Its most common open seat is 9:30 PM and the latest is 9:30 PM.
Musaafer is open on 33% of dates for two and 43% for four. It releases at noon on OpenTable, 14 days out. Tuesday is its easiest night at 40% and Saturday its hardest at 1%. 93% of what opens is early, led by 12:15 PM, and with a two-week window the last-minute days are worth watching.
Ito releases at noon on Resy, 21 days out. It has not opened a table on Sundays or Mondays in our checks, which usually means it is closed then. It is open on 50% of dates for two and 47% for four. The useful detail is the hour: every open slot we have recorded falls between 6:00 PM and 8:30 PM, with 8:30 PM the most common, so the seat it gives up is a normal dinner hour rather than a leftover.
Often, yes. With none of the Tribeca rooms we track at 0%, seats reopen steadily as plans change, and those cancellations surface at random hours in the final days before a date. Watching the platform closely, or letting an alert do it, is the most reliable way to catch one.
Each percentage is the share of dates in a restaurant's booking window that had a bookable table, recorded at two party sizes by re-checking the live booking page around the clock. Tribeca accounts for 1,447,787 availability checks and 350 observed release events across six rooms, part of 61,530,416 checks against the 284 tables we track. Figures were measured as of 19 October 2026. A weekday we describe as never open is one where no bookable table has ever appeared in our checks, which usually means the room is closed that night.
The hardest Tribeca reservation we can measure is Musaafer (33%), by the share of dates in its window with a bookable table for two. Of the six Tribeca rooms we measure, none read 0% at our last check, against seven of eleven in the West Village. Tribeca is the neighborhood where the question stops being whether you can get in and starts being which night.
That makes the day of the week the most valuable number on this page. Atera is open on 100% of Fridays and 44% of Thursdays. Musaafer is open on 40% of Tuesdays and 1% of Saturdays. ICCA reaches 100% on Thursdays and 48% on Tuesdays. Anyone can tell you a restaurant is busy. The spread between a room's best and worst night is what actually decides whether you eat there.
These six rooms have absorbed 1,447,787 availability checks and 350 observed release events. We watch 284 tables in total, which is the only reason a page can name the exact hour Ito opens or the weekday ICCA never does. Ranked by how often a two-top is bookable, here is the measured neighborhood.
Musaafer, Indian, OpenTable. Open on 33% of dates for two and 43% for four. Releases at noon, 14 days out. Tuesday is its easiest night at 40% and Saturday its hardest at 1%. 93% of what opens is early, with 12:15 PM the most common.
Ito, Japanese, Resy. Open on 50% of dates for two and 47% for four. Releases at noon, 21 days out. It has not opened a table on Sundays or Mondays in our checks, which usually means it is closed then. Every open slot we have recorded falls between 6:00 PM and 8:30 PM.
Atera, American tasting menu, Tock. Open on 60% of dates for two and 53% for four, 29 days out, rolling at 8 PM. Friday is easiest at 100% and Thursday hardest at 44%. It has not opened a table on Tuesdays or Wednesdays in our checks, which usually means it is closed then. Late seatings are 0% of what opens, and the most common open slot is 5:00 PM.
Au Cheval, American, Resy. Open on 67% of dates for two and 67% for four. Releases at 9 AM, 20 days out. Thursday is easiest at 67% and Monday hardest at 65%. It spans 11:00 AM to 11:30 PM, with 64% of openings early and 10:30 PM the single most common.
ICCA, Japanese, Tock. Open on 77% of dates for two and 70% for four. Releases at 11 AM, 29 days out. It has not opened a table on Wednesdays in our checks, which usually means it is closed then. Thursday is its easiest night at 100%, 33% of its open slots are prime time, and 5:30 PM is the most common.
Jungsik, Korean tasting menu, Tock. Open on 80% of dates for two and 73% for four. Releases at 11 AM, 5 days out. It has not opened a table on Mondays in our checks, which usually means it is closed then. Thursday runs at 100% and Saturday at 75%, from 13,168 recorded open slots.
Atera is the clearest case. It is open on 100% of the Fridays we checked and 44% of the Thursdays. It has not opened a table on Tuesdays or Wednesdays in our checks, which usually means it is closed then. Two diners could describe the same restaurant as effortless and impossible and both be telling the truth, depending only on which night they asked for. A single availability score would hide that completely.
Musaafer runs the same shape at a lower level. Tuesday is its best night at 40% and Saturday its worst at 1%, which is the difference between a plan and a fantasy. If you want Musaafer, you want a Tuesday, and the release hour is a secondary detail. With a 14-day window, this is a short-horizon room too.
At the easier end the spread narrows but still pays. ICCA is 100% on Thursday against 48% on Tuesday, Jungsik is 100% on Thursday against 75% on Saturday, and Au Cheval is 67% on Thursday against 65% on Monday. Closed days matter just as much: Atera on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, ICCA on Wednesdays, Jungsik on Mondays and Ito on Sundays or Mondays.
The general version of this is in the easiest-night guide, which ranks the whole city by weekday. The neighborhood version is simpler: pick the night the room is good at, and Tribeca stops being a chase. Doing the opposite, insisting on a Saturday at Musaafer or a Thursday at Atera, is how a bookable neighborhood comes to feel impossible.
Au Cheval goes at 9 AM. ICCA and Jungsik both go at 11 AM. Musaafer and Ito go at noon. Atera rolls its window at 8 PM. Those are the moments a fresh date enters each booking window, and for most of this list that is genuinely when you should be looking.
The horizon splits the neighborhood in two. Musaafer opens 14 days out, Au Cheval 20, and Ito 21. Atera reaches 29 days, and ICCA and Jungsik 5. So a tasting menu in Tribeca can be planned a month ahead, while Musaafer cannot be planned at all in the way people usually mean that word.
With none of these rooms at 0%, the drop is a real strategy rather than a formality. We have watched 350 release events across these six rooms, and unlike the 0% rooms elsewhere in the city, the tables they release survive long enough to be booked. Be at the right hour with your party size already chosen and you will often simply get the reservation.
That is the honest difference between Tribeca and the East Village or the West Village, where the release is mostly theater and the openings a real diner gets are cancellations. If you want the mechanics of how each platform rolls its window, the release-times guide covers it, and the Tock explainer is worth reading before you chase Atera, ICCA, or Jungsik.
Ito is the most disciplined room on this page: every open slot we have ever recorded falls between 6:00 PM and 8:30 PM, with 8:30 PM the most common and 50% in prime time. So its 50% is a real chance at the seat most people actually want, which makes it a better prospect than a higher score full of 10:30 PM tables.
Atera and ICCA rarely show a late seating either: late slots are 0% of Atera's openings and 0% of ICCA's. Atera runs 5:00 PM to 8:15 PM with 5:00 PM most common, and ICCA runs 12:30 PM to 8:30 PM with 5:30 PM most common and 33% of its slots in prime time. For tasting-menu rooms that is the expected shape, and it means a late table is not something to wait for.
Au Cheval is the widest room here, spanning 11:00 AM to 11:30 PM. Its most common open seat is 10:30 PM and 64% of its openings are early, so the middle of the evening is the part that goes first. Musaafer runs 93% early and 5% late, with 1% of its slots in prime time.
Put those facts together and Tribeca sorts itself neatly. If you want to eat at eight, aim at Ito, ICCA, or Jungsik. If you want a late dinner, Au Cheval is where a late seat actually exists. Asking a room for the hour it never gives up is the most common way a decent chance turns into a wasted week.
Less than the night does, in this neighborhood. Of the Tribeca rooms we measure, one read higher for four than for two and four read lower. Musaafer is the one to know: 33% of dates open for two against 43% for four. Atera reads 60% and 53%.
Know the gap at Musaafer before you decide it is out of reach. Where a four-top reads higher, it comes from the room's table mix rather than from demand. We measure two-tops and four-tops separately on every check, so the difference shows up instead of being averaged away.
The pattern is not a rule anywhere else either. The party-size guide has the cross-city picture, and the Lower East Side page carries another case: Bistrot Ha reads 13% for two and 13% for four. Check the size you need before you write a room off.
In Tribeca the release genuinely works, so start there. Be ready at 9 AM for Au Cheval, 11 AM for ICCA and Jungsik, noon for Musaafer and Ito, or the 8 PM roll for Atera, with the party size and the platform account already set up. On a night the room is good at, that is usually the whole job.
When the drop does not land, cancellations here are a much better bet than they are uptown. Because these rooms are not at zero, seats reopen steadily as plans change, deposits get reconsidered, and parties shrink. Those openings arrive at no fixed hour, so the diner who catches one is the diner who happened to be looking, or the one who had something watching on their behalf.
SnagRes re-checks these rooms across Resy, OpenTable, Tock, and SevenRooms and emails or texts you the moment a watched table opens. We never book it and never hold it: you reserve in your own name and pay the restaurant's price at the door. The other model in this market is resale, which New York's 2024 reservation law was written about, and TableSwap advertises $75 per successful reservation.
Pick the night the room is actually good at: Friday at Atera, Thursday at Au Cheval, Thursday at Jungsik, Thursday at ICCA, Tuesday at Musaafer.
Skip the closed days: Atera on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, ICCA on Wednesdays, Jungsik on Mondays and Ito on Sundays or Mondays.
Price the four-top at Musaafer: 43% for four against 33% for two.
Match the horizon: 14 days for Musaafer, 20 for Au Cheval, 29 for Atera.
Ask for the hour the room gives up: 8:30 PM at Ito, 5:00 PM at Atera, 10:30 PM at Au Cheval.
The most bookable Tribeca rooms are Jungsik (80%), ICCA (77%) and Au Cheval (67%). Jungsik and ICCA both book on Tock, 5 days out. Jungsik reaches 100% on a Thursday and ICCA 100% on a Thursday, which for tasting-menu rooms of that standing is remarkable. Atera reads 60%, though only on the right night.
Ito at 50% is the one where watching pays the most, because the slot it opens is the one you want. Musaafer at 33% for two is the room here that asks for patience, and it turns into a real chance if you ask on a Tuesday inside its 14-day window.
The pattern worth carrying out of this page is that Tribeca's rooms mostly have a right night and a right hour rather than a wall. That is a different instruction from the one the hardest-in-NYC ranking gives, and it is why this neighborhood is the answer when someone needs a good New York dinner in the next two weeks without a fight.
Every figure here comes from our own repeated checks against the live booking page, at two party sizes, around the clock, measured as of 19 October 2026. Table Alert advertises 62,198 restaurants. We watch 284 and have logged 61,530,416 checks against them, which is how a page can say Atera is open on 100% of Fridays and 44% of Thursdays. Breadth cannot produce a sentence like that.
