Ha’s Snack Bar is already too full, but it’s also too good to ignore.
WHEN SOMEONE TELLS you who they are, believe them. Ha’s Snack Bar, a tiny, delicious little pocket on Broome Street, is a snack bar. That’s not to diminish the food, which is ambitious, filling, and meal-size, but to fairly assess the space itself, which is ambitious, full, and minuscule. Forty seats might constitute a petite restaurant. Ha’s, with 24, mostly bar and counter, is a restaurant snack.
I share this up front to manage expectations. Since it opened at the tail end of last year, Ha’s has been bursting at the seams. The restaurant takes some reservations, but the method I found reliable was to show up at least half an hour before its 5:30 p.m. opening and line up behind fellow aspirants.
