Somssi releases tables on Resy 14 days ahead at 10 AM, one new date each morning. At our last check a table for two showed on 7% of dates, but 38% of dates opened at some point as cancellations came back, so an alert on your date is how most people get in.
Watch the week you want and take the cancellation: 38% of dates in our record opened at some point, across 356 recorded release events. For a specific date, be on Resy at the release, 14 days ahead at 10 AM.

9:00 PM most often, but openings are spread: 28% before 6 PM, 19% in prime time, 44% at 9 PM or later.

At any given moment, yes. Across 624,807 availability checks, Somssi has shown a bookable table for two on 7% of the dates in its window, and the same for a party of four. Over the whole record, 38% of the dates we have watched opened at some point before they filled. The seats exist. They are gone before a person browsing at random ever sees them.
We have recorded 356 release events here, dates going from closed to open under our watch. The calendar is in constant motion, and it reads as empty to anyone who checks it at a random hour.
Open rate at a random moment: 7% for two, 3% for four.
Dates that opened at some point in our record: 38%.
Somssi books on Resy, and a new date appears 14 days ahead at 10 AM. Its own Resy listing puts it plainly: “Reservations are released 14 days in advance at 10:00 AM ET.” Two weeks is a short window, and a short window changes the math: everyone who wants the room in the next fortnight is competing for the same handful of dates, and the fresh one each morning gets the whole city's attention at once.
The release is one moment. With 356 recorded openings on a two-week window, the calendar reopens dates constantly afterward, at no fixed hour, for minutes.
Release rule: one new date each morning, 14 days ahead at 10 AM.
Release events recorded: 356, most of them cancellations.
Unusually evenly. The slot we have seen open most often is 9:00 PM, but the spread is wider than at most hard rooms: 28% of recorded openings fell before 6 PM, 19% in the 7:00 to 8:30 PM window, and 44% at 9 PM or later. Openings run from 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM.
That prime-time share is the notable number. At most rooms we track the 7:30 table is the one that never comes back; at Somssi prime time is 19% of what comes back. A cancellation here is genuinely likely to be the table you actually wanted.
Before 6 PM: 28%. Prime time: 19%. 9 PM or later: 44%.
Watch the week you want. With 38% of dates reopening at some point, prime time a real share of what comes back, and 356 recorded openings, the cancellation alert is the route that seats most people here, and the one a person cannot run by hand.
For a specific date, be on Resy at the release, 14 days ahead at 10 AM, with your party size set and your card saved. Party size is not a lever here; two and four sit at the same 7%. Flexibility about the day is the better one, and being told when the table appears matters more than either.
Book on Resy. New dates appear 14 days ahead at 10 AM.
Watch a week rather than a date. 38% of dates open at some point.
Prime time is 19% of openings here, so a cancellation is often the seat you wanted.
No, and that is deliberate. SnagRes watches Somssi on Resy around the clock and tells you the moment a table appears, by email or text. You book it yourself, in your own Resy account, at the restaurant's own price. Nothing is reserved, held or resold on your behalf, which is the line New York's 2024 reservation law draws and the line we stay on the right side of.
Because you cannot say any of the above about a directory. SnagRes tracks 284 restaurants across New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago, with 61,530,416 logged availability checks between the rooms with a full record. Nothing watching tens of thousands of restaurants can tell you that one Greenwich Village room gives back 19% of its openings at prime time, because nothing is watching it closely enough to count.
