Holiday dinner for 14, East side, $100 pp all-in?

  • 4

I've been asked to come up with some ideas for a dinner for the women at my firm, in the East 50s, 60s or 70s, where we can dine for $100 per person (including drinks, tip). I'd like something a little upscale (though I know that's tough for the price), quiet enough where we can hear each other speak, but not stiff or quiet. A private room would be great, but between the holiday season and the size of the party I know that may not be possible. Any suggestions, hounds??

  1. Uva, on 2nd ave and 77th st, has a wine cellar for private groups. They are a moderately priced Italian restaurant/wine bar. I bet you'd be able to fit the budget easily. It's not upscale per se, but it's quite cozy, and it's not stiff or quiet.

    1. Soujorn on 79th/2nd would suit u fine!

        Any ideas for locations away from the upper east side? I'm open to midtown, all the way down to Tribeca and I can up the price slightly to $125 per person all-in. Thanks

          Check with Luna Piena - see if they'll open the upstairs room for you - Or give you the far back against the wall in the old garden/deck area. There's a separate section in La Mangeoire which seats about that number - so you'd control your own noise. They're both on East 53d.
