Please help for the sake of my sanity... We are looking for something outside of a sit-down dinner, formal affair..
1 idea so far is a bowling alley (w/ private room)
*the wedding is in April- the rd on a Thursday nite*

Lucky Chengs is really fun. At first I didn't know what to expect but it turned out to be a blast because they are hilarious there and it's an interactive dinner/show. I went for my friends bachelorette party and we all had a ball! However, this is your rehearsal dinner and I'm sure older people may be there so I'm not sure how they'd feel. But its worth checking out. Good luck. www.planetluckychengs.com

How about a dinner cruise on the Hudson or just cruise on the LI Sound with a simple meal and drinks?

Bowling alley seems cool...try Strike, I know they have corporate events there.
How about Dave & Busters? I love that place, I know there's a room you can reserve there, and you can reserve pool tables, or just go play games, there's so may options for all ages.

Ooh I like the bowling idea! But not everyone bowls so maybe have it at 300 in Farmingdale because of the bar. Or Dave & Busters so you have the video games too. I think there's a few with bowling alleys in them and you can get the private room. I think that one is in Farmingdale too or maybe Westbury.

Re: alternative rehearsal dinner venues
my ILs had it at the Pompei in West Hempstead. We had a private room and it was good
Oh nevermind, I didnt read the 'outside of formal affair type'

Re: alternative rehearsal dinner venues
Hi-
We were planning on doing Dave and Busters for ours. The price was very reasonable. You do have to pay a fee to rent the room. Depending on which D&B you choose its b/t $200-300. We did it b/c the one we would use has bowling, games and big bar area with TV's for anyone that just wanted to watch a game or something.
Good Luck!

we went to 300- FH and I LOVED it, the FILs hated it- they want a fancy sit down, so I'm trying to be flexible and find other options that are similar... thanks for helping me through this... I really don't understand why they are so against what we want
