We get asked ALL THE TIME where to go for a large group meal. Believe us, after celebrating countless birthdays in New York City, we understand the struggle. Most places either don’t take reservations or have a minimum large party spend. We’ve compiled a list for you with lots of good options for your next celebration. This is a living map, which means that anytime we find another great spot for a group, we'll add it to this list & you'll automatically get the update! It comes with an interactive map too! Each restaurant we recommend in this guide has been personally vetted by us. You'll find our price rating, what we recommend ordering, info for how to book, & links to our TikTok reviews!

The East Village has a little bit of everything. Towards the west it is more posh as it connects to Union Square, towards the north it is extremely neighborhoody/family oriented near Stuytown, the east brings you the edginess of old-NY and Alphabet City, whereas the south is the trendy area of LES. East Village has a little something for everyone in it. The restaurants here serve up delicious food without being stuffy establishments. The East Village is filled with a pleathora of food options for all palates and budgets! Don't have a reservation, no problem - this guide is for you! My guide includes all day cafes, fast grab n' go options, and some phenomenal sit down restaurants spanning cuisines from italian, australian, Mexican, farm to table and a handful of different mediterranean and Asian cusines. Majority of the restaurants are in the $-$$ price range! Purchase of the guide includes an amazing interactive map that captures all these specifics and more!
