What a day. Those of you who managed to refresh at the right moment and scored the choice resys, well played. The rest of you, meet us back here tomorrow. Unless that is you were never able to set up an account; we're not sure what the story is there. Seven hours in, there are already resy scalpers in the comments, on Craigslist, and eGullet, and one can witness the entire spectrum of human emotions splayed out in the comments. Anger (at us, at Momofuku, at the scalpers), joy, doubt, self righteousness, and of course, greed. These sum it up:

"Oh wait I get it now. In keeping with the whole concept of the restaurant, they've put the reservation system on a server that only can handle 12 people at a time!"

"I am losing my mind."

"Sweet mother of god got to the time slot screen and it crashed again. dyyyyyyyyyying"

"i got through, but was offered front-row Stones tickets. wtf???"

"Can we all just take a moment and think about what it is we're getting all worked up about here?"

"Ko-BOOM indeed."
