//The line

Per Time Out, The Lineup is now in its ninth recurring season, with each $180 ticketed dinner spotlighting a different sous chef, chef de cuisine, or line cook from a marquee NYC kitchen (Le Bernardin, Borgo, Eleven Madison Park) running the room for one night only.

Access is ticket-based rather than walk-in or a wait-in-line model: Time Out directs diners to book via www.thelineupdinner.com/tickets, though the page does not report sellout status or waitlist figures for specific dates.
