Where in Brooklyn? How many people? Do you need a private room?

Re: Calling all Brooklyn Girls...

where in brooklyn? and for how many people? i know this great little place called bamonte's in greenpoint on lorimar street. iknow i have seen private parties held before although it is usually in one open room so i don't know how comfy that would be.

Re: Calling all Brooklyn Girls...

We'll have probably around 25-30 people. We live in Bay Ridge so that's our first choice but we're willing to go anywhere in Brooklyn. Our bridal party is all over, New Jersey, Staten Ilsand, NYC, Brooklyn.... so we'd like someplace in the middle! We don't really need a whole private room but it would be nice. Thanks girls!!

I just had my shower at Fiorentino's on Avenue U and East 1st street. It has always been one of my favorite restaurants and they did a nice job on the shower too.

You can try Il Colosseo on 18th avenue and 76th street. They have excellent Italian food.

Re: Calling all Brooklyn Girls...

Try Pazzo on 4th Ave and 100th Street in Bay Ridge. I had my HTB's surprise birthday party there in March and had 50 guests. Everyone loved this place and the decor is fabulous. They do private parties. Speak to Jeff. 718 238 0042. Prices are reasonable.
