Ray's the Steaks has reopened. Yay! Same menu. Same everything else except...

Surprise! The reservation policy has changed, as in, they don't take them anymore. So now when it gets popular again, you'll have to wait an hour or so to get in. However, in the meantime, you can walk in like I did, get a table instantly and have a nice leisurely meal, with creamy crab bisque, filet mignon and a bottle of Bourdeaux. I only ate a half hour ago and I'm already hungry thinking about it.

And no, this is not an April fools joke.
