Pay to Play

Think you can't get into a super hot restaurant? If you're willing to pay, you may be able to score a last-minute table. Table Host, a new premium dining concierge service, says it can hook you up for a minimum of $50 (that doesn't look to get credited toward your meal) for hard-to-get tables. The site, which just launched, lists restaurants like Henri, Hot Chocolate, Chicago q and Sola (none of which seem that hard to get into), and their next available openings. Places like Girl & The Goat, Goosefoot, Next and Alinea, which are nearly impossible to get into, are absent. Would you pay for this service? [EaterWire]
