Request: Best Restaurants for a Bridal Shower

EE's Recommendations:

1. Trattoria Cinque  363 Greenwich Street nr. Franklin St.  I'll start off by saying that this place is such a hidden gem, especially for large groups. I've been to a number of larger parties here and have always had a blast! They have 2 rooms private rooms that accommodate large parties and offer a sit down dinner, passed hors d'oeuvres and have a great cocktail list. They allow you to tailor the party to your liking, making it the perfect venue.

2.  Alison Eighteen  15 W. 18th Street nr. 5th Ave.  If you are looking for a place that'll truly impress both parties, Alison Eighteen undoubtedly will. It opened this year, but trust me Alison is no newbie to the industry.  The space is delightful and the food is up to par.  They have a private area downstairs that will accommodate up to 100 people for the occasion.  Similar to Trattoria Cinque, you'll be able to customize your event however you would like!

3. Locanda Verde 379 Greenwich Street nr. North Moore St. The room is absolutely stunning and the food is some of the best I've had anywhere in the city - especially their chicken for two and scrumptious pastas.  I guess you can tell it's one of my favorite restaurants for any occasion! If it's in your budget and they have availability, you must book their private room.

Dining Room at Palma

1.  Palma 28 Cornelia St. nr. 4th St.  Husband and wife duo opened up this magnificent restaurant and has expanded their 35- seat dining room into the Farm House out back.  The room is absolutely magnificent (it's an actual kitchen with a fire place) and the food is out of this world.  They offer a $60 tasting menu. 

2.  Trattoria Cinque 363 Greenwich St. nr. Franklin St.  I'll start off by saying that this place is awesome!  I've been to a number of larger parties here and have always had a blast! 

3.  Alta 64 W 10th St. nr. 6th Ave. I've been here for a few different events here and I've always had such an amazing time.  They've got a private room that accommodates up to 24 people.  The sangria is STRONG, delicious and a perfect amount of fruit, juice and alch!  But don't worry, the drinks aren't the main draw here, it's their mediterranean tapas that keeps everyone coming back for more.  

Trattoria Cinque

4.  Nonna 520 Columbus Ave. @ 85th St. Mangia, mangia, mangia!  What you'll get here is a ton of delicious Italian food even approved by my Italian Grandmother (which says a lot!).  The ambiance is homey and you seriously won't believe the prices for the amount and quality of your food and drink!

5.  Supper 156 E. 2nd St. nr Ave. A.  I had my birthday here a couple months ago and they gave me their lounge area downstairs (equipped with tables) to accommodate a party of over 20.  Great company along with delicious food and a bottle or two of wine made for a very memorable night.
