Summer's Hottest New Restaurant in New York Only Has 8 Seats

A tiny eight-seat diner in the Hamptons has become the hottest table of the summer. But there are no reservations.

Babe's in Sag Harbor opened in May. It features a menu of classic American diner food, a checkerboard floor, just 8 red leather stools, and no reservations.

"Babe's is a locally owned fine diner in Sag Harbor, rooted in nostalgia and built with better ingredients. We serve elevated all-day classics from burgers and sandwiches to salads and shakes. Easy, craveable, done right," the owners state on its website.

Wait Is Often At Least An Hour

During peak times, the wait regularly stretches over an hour.

The entire diner is anchored by a single, intimate counter lined with exactly eight bolted-down, retro red leather stools. Because the footprint is so small, the kitchen is entirely exposed right across from the counter.
