where to eat and party in NYC July 11th, by Michael Jacob on Jun 24, 2008 19:41:42 GMT 1, My wife is taking me to NYC July 10-12. She is also having 4 other couples fly in to join us Friday night (the 11th) for dinner and drinks afterwards. Where is a great place to eat. I want something trendy and fun (but not touristy). It will be a table for 10. In the past, weve eaten at higher end restaurants, but Im not sure all 10 people will want to drop that much money (ie; per se, nobu, danielle, etc)
Also, what are the hot spots for drinks the rest of the evening.
Any help is appreciated.
Crazy Jake
ps Ill be celebrating my 40th birthday along with a friend who is also celebrating his 40th.

There are 2, one is on Houston. Trendier sushi is "Bond Street Sushi" which is sort of a cocktail bar/restaurant fusion affair with dim lights and louder than usual tunes (for a restaurant), but it gets pretty expensive depending what you order to eat and drink. There was a great French fusion place in Soho called L'orange Bleu also. Sorry if these aren't trendy, it's been a while since I lived there and I haven't been back in about 5 years now.

where to eat and party in NYC July 11th, by Heavyconsumer on Jun 24, 2008 19:57:27 GMT 1, Used to party at "Turntables on the Hudson" when it was at Chelsea Pier. Always messy and a lot of fun, but they started changing venues and moving around before I left. Lotus bar was new and "in" - Trendy changes with the seasons there though. Best to speak to current dwellers. No idea what goes on these days of course, but if you're out very late then there's an after hours bar open til the wee hours on 9th Ave (around 46th I think) called Rudy's. Cheep pitchers of beer and hotdogs.

im thinking something a little more family style? I like high end, but dont think it will work for this group. one of our group is "celebrity" crazy. They would love to see someone "special." I guess Im looking for something memorable and not to quiet.
seidbereit, happy bday to you! if youre gonna be in NYC ill buy you a beer! My birthday is August 5th, we're just celebrating a little early.

where to eat and party in NYC July 11th, by jffriedman on Jun 24, 2008 22:26:48 GMT 1, Short list in no order completely off the top of my head and varying price ranges. Craft (always top notch all around), Gemma, Peking Duck House (awesome place for big parties who like duck), Landmark (tribecca, not the one in the aol building), little owl, ino, pylos (greek) I could go on forever..

where to eat and party in NYC July 11th, by metrojames on Jun 25, 2008 0:26:19 GMT 1, If you have the time you might want to check out Williamsburg Brooklyn, very short train ride from Manhattan. It is packed with great places to eat and hang out. Try "Sea" on North 6th Street. It is real trendy but not expensive. Good Luck !!!

where to eat and party in NYC July 11th, by Heavyconsumer on Jun 25, 2008 4:33:29 GMT 1, CJ, I can't believe I forgot the most obvious of all. The timeless classic - A giant steak on a plate - Peter Lugers in Brooklyn!!!! Oh how I miss those perfectly cooked, giant slabs of meat!! Always worked out quite pricey for me, because I eat for 2/3 people, but prices are not insane and the steaks as exceedingly good!

Not surprised considering how well the one in Williamsburg is doing. Another great steak house in Manhattan is Uncle Jacks on 9th Ave, just as good as Peter Luger in Brooklyn.

where to eat and party in NYC July 11th, by bobbymeachamjr on Jun 26, 2008 8:44:38 GMT 1, Stay away from midtown if you're not into the tourist thing. Although theres really no place you can really go w/o tourists
You'll absolutely love Patsys - nice atmosphere/beer/ and great pizza. On the gourmet side as its a nice place to chill w/a large party. Not one of the order by the slice pizzarias. Impossible to be disappointed.
Fine Cuban - San Cubano @ meat packing district
Chow Bar - west village - Chinese/ French fusion. Very modern NY and very tasty
oh for sensational gelato go to Cones on bleecker
All of these are kinda expensive but not out of control...
