//The line

Or'esh is a Mediterranean restaurant in SoHo that has quickly become known as one of NYC's hardest tables to get — it's featured in The Infatuation's "Toughest Reservations in NYC" guide and Time Out called it "the new it-restaurant that everyone in NYC is trying to get into." Reservations are booked through DoorDash, reportedly released daily at 10am for the date 7 days out.

For walk-ins, reported guidance is to line up outside by 4pm at the latest, ahead of the 5pm opening — a host reportedly starts taking names around 4:25pm and will text if a table or bar seat becomes available. So the practical "line" here is more of a same-day walk-in waitlist than a queue that forms once doors open.
