Need Restaurant Ideas - 7 people
hey peeps,
i'm summoning the great powers of NYTA to assist me in my search of a restaurant for a meetup for myself and 6 of my grammar school best friends...
when: friday, nov. 25 LUNCH time (day after turkeyday; looking to make reservations soon of course)
where: anywhere in manhattan plz! (preferrable south of 30th)
***no stupid chains like TGIFridays, Chevy's, Applebees, etc***
my requirements:
1. good atmosphere, able to be a Bit loud without feeling awkward, no quiet places!
2. not in a cheesy area (*cough*timessquare*cough)
3. not expensive (i think $20 a person for lunch with no alkie is ok)
4. general cuisine to please all tastes (ie new american cuisine or italian; nothing super ethnic)
i'm making my way thru zagat's and citysearch as we speak.. i appreciate your help you guys!!!! (kidnyce i'm counting on you!
)
mucho grateful,
danisan
edit: this is for lunch time!
any ideas? 
SERAFINAAAAAA!!!! 4th and Lexington, i believe... one of my favorites... the food and the environment are awesome, and going at night is a plus as there is medium-volume lounge house music with live percussions... its mostly an italian restaurant but has a bit of everything, trust me, its an awesome spot....
....also try out DIVA, its like a block south i think of Canal Room... nice spot
cool man, thank you
looking into those spots right now

coolest and most coziest place in the world. the lights are always dim and the food is the BEST. they serve breakfast 24/7 hence the name... it's literally the best place i been to where u could just chill with friends and enjoy a meal. it has that kinda vibe to it.
