The Corner Store is a classic American restaurant and 13-seat bar at Houston and West Broadway in SoHo. It releases table reservations two weeks in advance and reportedly does not accept walk-ins for tables, which pushes demand onto a small first-come bar and a limited number of walk-in slots freed up by cancellations or no-shows.
Reporting describes a line forming outside the restaurant around 4pm ahead of the 5pm opening, sometimes stretching around the block, as people wait for a shot at bar seating or a walk-in cancellation. Since table reservations open two weeks out and go fast, arriving well before the doors open is the reported strategy for anyone hoping to get in without a reservation.
