EE's Recommendations: 

Guacamole Trio, Mercadito

1. Mercadito 179 Avenue B nr. 12th Street I love Mercadito for large groups because they have a menu that is just for sharing for parties of 7 or more! You can pick a price point of $30-$45 per person and you get all different types of their delicious Mexican food. Everything from their guacamole to their ceviches and tacos are unreal. 

2. Supper  156 East 2nd Street nr. Avenue A Delish, lively Italian restaurant that isn't on the major $$$$ side. Great wine list and fun atmosphere. The restaurant has a back room and lounge area to accommodate larger groups. Make sure to save room for dessert! 

3. The Toucan & The Lion  342 E. 6th Street nr. First Ave. This is a newcomer and it's getting a lot of buzz so book immediately if you're planning on taking part! It's an Asian gastropub and boy is the food yummy! When I was there, we ordered a bunch of small plates which is especially great for a larger party. Their menu is really diverse, but if you like burgers, you must get one for everyone to try!
