Great Success!!!

Trying to find a restaurant in New York, as surprising as it sounds, can be extremely difficult. If you're restricted by your wallet and by a large group of people it is even more so. In trying to plan a party for 16 people finding a restaurant was interesting to say the least. But after this experience, I have about 30 restaurants that I'd love to check out and I must admit the party was a success. Stanton Social (for the most part) didn't disappoint. Okay, they didn't give us the mezzanine table, as promised and we had to wait for the table and they forgot the cake and when I asked for the leftover food to be wrapped up the busboy gave me an attitude, but (yes, there's a but) the food was great, the atmosphere awesome, we had plenty of room and we got free bubbly and an appetizer on the house.

Here's the (not so short) short list of some places worth checking out:
