Brunch get together for my Bridesmaids

I was thinking of having a small gettogether for my Bridesmaids after New Years - just to introduce the girls to each other -

Anyone have any ideas as to where I can have it? Preferablly the city or queens area??

Thanks girls!

All of my BM's haven't met yet, 3 of the 5 already know each other from college, one of the remaining two knows two of the 3....YIKES! Anyway, my BM's are spread out geographically so until I can have them all get together I did a group e-mail and asked them to answer a list of questions which I came up with and e-mail their answers back to the group. Sounds a bit corny but here are some of the things I asked:

How do you know B2B? How long?
Where do you live?
What do you do for a living? Hobbies?
Share a funny story about B2B.
Share your most vivid memory of B2B.
Anything else you want us to know.....

I think I had some more in there but you get the jist. My BM's had a great time doing this and they came up with some pretty funny stuff. They now have each others e-mail for when the secret planning starts

what about Serendipity on east 60th?

Or meet for drinks at the Mariott Marquis' swanky top of the city bar?

After we bought the BM dresses I treated the girls to a lunch - they all loved the place and my MOH has insisted we go back a few times.

It is called La Bonne Souppe it is on 55th between 5 and 6th - near where la cote basque was.

It is a little french restaurant and usually has a line out the door - ask to sit in the back room or upstairs.

It has soups, salads, steaks - but we go for the cheese fondue, chocolate fondue AND REALLY good sangria.

There seem to be a lot of groups of women who go there everytime I am there

A friend of mine did that and took us all out to brunch at Isabella's- it was great!!! You'll definitely need to make a reservation for brunch. It's on the upper west side (Columbus and 79th-ish).

Nick and Maggies on Union Turnpike in Glen Oaks Queens - Near Lakeville Road, very nice american restaurant. There's Millie's at the Americana in Manhassat, very nice brunch spot. Tribeca Grill downtown (larger place)
