I sorta want a nice shower. I know we're suppose to be surprised and it's a nice gesture, etc. But I kind of really wanted it at a RH type place, like New Hyde Park Inn , Main Maid Inn or George Washington Manor, etc.
My MOH knows this but said my mom refuses. She wants the usual 50 year old, never remodeled, Italian type place. That kind of bums me out, but my mom will most likely be paying a large chunk of it, so I have no choice.
She also wants to stick with Western Nassau - like Lynbrook, Malverne, Garden City, RVC, etc. Does anyone know of a cool or modern type place in this area, I may be able to drop a hint to my MOH who isn't from that area. I guess the price needs to be under $30 per person.
Thanks. Signed, BRIDEZILLA!

I think under $30 per person is gonna be hard. I am looking into rehearsal dinners now and most places are $35 pp and up with beer, wine, and soda

I dont know of any place in that area, but I do know the place where I had my Eparty is nice, newly remodeled, great food, etc, and its about $30pp depending on the type of party. Its in East Islip though.

I have no idea about pricing, but Cafe Formaggio is very nice. It's on Old Country Road in Garden CIty.

Oh good idea. I like both of those places. Certain towns aren't easy to find parking at. Ever notice that?

I've actually never eaten in the 'fancy' part of Carmella's. We'd always eat in the quickie pizza part. Ha ha.
The worst is Umberto's- on the corner of Meacham and Hempstead Turnpike. Cars will KILL you trying to cross. It's nuts over there.

Pompei in West Hempstead is nice -- they have that room that is almost all windows .... and I think the price is what you're looking for.

I'd also recommend Pompeii. It's on Hempstead Avenue in West Hempstead. They have really good Italian food and I think it's pretty reasonable. They have valet parking or you can just park on a side street. I've been to showers and parties there and it's very nice. The room is 'atrium' style with glass sides and on weekends I always see showers being held there.
