Restaurants Perfect For Big Groups
our suggestions
-
Picca
9575 West Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, CADining in Los Angeles is different than dining in New York. You probably don’t need us to tell you that, but every time we eat food in this town, we’re reminded of the fact that having a valet out in front of the restaurant is just about as essential as getting good press. Let’s just [...]

Perla
24 Minetta Ln., Greenwich Village, NYAll too often, we find ourselves playing the role of hype-squashers, injecting some much needed reality into a situation when people are falling over themselves because a celebrity chef just opened a restaurant with a master pizzaiolo and an indoor water slide. We don’t particularly like being the ones to point out flaws amidst adoring [...]

Yerba Buena Perry
One Perry St., West Village, NYA combination of everything that’s right about Latin American food, Yerba Buena Perry’s menu reads like an Infatuation wet dream. Pork belly arepas, chorizo, fish tacos, ceviches, short ribs and dry aged steaks. This is one of our favorite spots in town.

Peter Luger Steak House
178 Broadway, Brooklyn, NYMany of us tri-state area Jews have fond memories of summer camp. We’re shipped off into the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania to learn how to fend for ourselves. Being peer pressured into pulling pranks, lighting firecrackers, smoking weed and of course, going on bunk raids to steal all the girls bras and proudly display for [...]

Fette Sau
354 Metropolitan Ave., Brooklyn, NYLadies and gentlemen, we have a new favorite BBQ spot. Situated inside what used to be an old auto body shop, this gutted garage is raging every night of the week.

Salinas
136 9th Ave., Chelsea, NYChelsea is a challenging neighborhood when it comes to eating. We’re usually only here before an event at Madison Square Garden or because a large group of females we know felt like eating tapas – and this is where large groups of females go to eat tapas. Why on earth are there so many Spanish [...]

Barbuto
775 Washington St., West Village, NYA trendy spot, but for a more sedate group…not the hair gel and high heels crowd that you find a few blocks north in the meatpacking district. Simple food, top quality ingredients, a good wine and beer list – all the makings of an Immaculate Infatuation mainstay.

Dovetail
103 W 77th St., Upper West Side, NYIt’s rare that we actually venture up to the Upper West Side to eat out. Those treks north are usually reserved for Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, chocolate chip cookies (we love Levain Bakery and Jacques Torres), and takeout essentials from Artie’s Delicatessen or Fairway. Thanks to Dovetail, there’s now another reason to make the trip.

Nopa
560 Divisadero St., San Francisco, CAIf someone held a gun to my head and insisted I vacate NYC immediately, San Francisco would be the destination. It’s the only other city in America I could realistically see myself living pre-retirement, and I know many New Yorkers share the sentiment. There’s a lot to love about SF. In a way, it’s a [...]

Keens Steakhouse
72 W. 36th Street, Midtown, NYKeens is as Old New York as you can get. Open since 1885, this place is loaded with history. It’s pretty much the Museum of Natural Meat Eating History.
