Is The Waverly Inn hard to book?

Yes. When we last checked on November 6, 2026, no table for two was open in the window, so a table usually means catching a cancellation.

What goes first is the hour: only 15% of the open slots we log fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. The time we see open most often is 10:00 PM.

When does The Waverly Inn release reservations?

The Waverly Inn publishes no release hour. In our checks its Resy calendar runs about 14 days ahead, with new dates joining the far end of the window, so there is no morning drop to set an alarm for.

What kind of place it is

The Waverly Inn is the West Village dining room Graydon Carter reopened in 2006, once run like a private club with an unlisted number. The Edward Sorel mural is still on the wall; the menu is classic American.

Walk-ins and the other ways in

Outdoor seating is walk-in only, first come, first served, in any weather. Inside, bookings cover the dining room and the conservatory.

If the night you want is full

Try an earlier or later time, or wait for a cancellation. SnagRes watches The Waverly Inn's Resy calendar and texts you when a table opens on your date. You book it yourself on Resy; we never book, hold or resell a table.
