Re: Engagement Party

Thanks everyone...I was thinking about looking at a Knights of Columbus hall...but not sure where to start. Do they have a website?

As for where I am looking - probably a restaurant with a private area or even a decent bar...nothing too extravagant! Plus, we are looking at Feb/Mar, so the outdoor thing won't fly in the cold weather :O(

Vincents clam bar (by roosevelt field) is reasonable...also bourbon street in bayside....try those, great deals!...also lunch parties are cheaper

I had mine at Villa Umbertos in Elmont. The food was amazing and had about 80 people. It was reasonably priced.

Re: Engagement Party

Sorry everyone...I was sick and the away on vacation....but thanks for all the input.

I am trying to find a place for under or around $20 per person and than probably just run a tab at the bar. There is a local place that I am probably just going to go to. It's a bar, which is great b/c I didn't want to do a sit down thing anyway, but we are always there and I guess I was just trying to look for something slightly nicer, if you know what I mean!

Re: Engagement Party

I just checked out The Homestead's site and the prices arevwhat I have been seeing but still a little on the pricey side for us at the moment! But thanks for the recommendation...i have added it to my list of possibilities!
