NYC Ladies Dinner... I Need Your Recs


Hey NYC people! I'd love to hear your recs for favorite dinner spots with your ladies.


I'm heading up to the city next week to meet up with my best girls (including my mom) for a little wedding dress shopping (my fave Brit designer may be having a trunk show!), and I'd love to have a fun and fabulous spot for dinner after we shop. So far, we've got Cienfuegos and Beauty & Essex on the list on contenders.


While I'm pretty solid with my restaurant knowledge in the city, I haven't kept up with the new spots as much as I wish I could. So, whether it has been around forever... or is brand spanking new... I'd love to hear your fave spot for a special girl's night dinner! And if push comes to shove, we always will have Gray's.

I wish I was more familiar with NYC. As much as I love the city, I'm eqi-distance to NYC and Boston, and when I feel the itch to become a city-mouse for a few days, I tend to choose Boston.

Sounds like an amazing time, no matter where you go! Have a blast and good luck wedding dress shopping (I am SO GLAD I never have to do that again!!).

Neither are trendy or anything but the food is AHmazing: Prune and Union Square Cafe.

I'm going to be a woman on a mission! I know the exact dress, have seen it before in person, and am just thrilled to have a fun wedding moment of showing my peeps the dress I love.

Boston is awesome, by the way. I'm headed there in May for a wedding and would love to know your fave spots.

Hope you're thawing out up there! xo

I'm really out of practice with NYC restaurants, but I second the recommendation for Prune! Have so much fun. It sounds like an incredible trip!

Have fun in NYC!!! Ever been to the The Red Cat? I think you'd love the decor and the carrot cake is to die for. xoxo

This is so much fun! I love hearing all of your recs - thank you!

Doreen - I definitely have some spots to share. We will have to chat!

Sooo much fun! If you have a free minute (although it doesn't sound like you will!) call me, I'd love to grab a coffee! My recs: DBGB, Stanton Social, Kitty Chai, Buddakan. Not the most recent trendy places but all really good standards. Also, if you're looking for a fabulous place to get drinks you must go to the Cooper Square Hotel bar on the 2nd floor. Go to the right after you get off the elevators and there is a private-ish glass area. It's like having drinks in your own uber trendy living room!! An absolute must.

Janis - I checked out DBGB last time I was in town upon your rec and LOVED it!

And yes to coffee :) It will be awesome to catch up.

I'm excited to check out these spots tomorrow online... and before I forget, my Mom and I are staying at Gild Hall... another one of your recs from a LONG time ago!
