Fri Sep 23 13:13:52 -0700 2005 0 cgk 1 1205250 You might want to consider Peep in SoHo. I've been twice. Pretty tasty thai food (don't get the emperor's dumpling, but the saffron mussel soup is enough for a meal and is delicious. The calamari starter is also good). They have a list of fun drinks that actually taste good. In terms of gimmicks, they are another "crazy bathroom" restaurant. The walls of the bathroom are basically a one-way mirror (or is that two ways)? You can see into the restaurant, but they can't see you. It gets kind of loud, but you'll probably be a loud group anyway ;) Prices are reasonable, too, if that's a concern.

Downstairs bar that looks very Clockwork Orange. Also near all the madness of Meatpacking that I usually hate but is fun for a bachelorette. Mon Sep 26 17:02:30 -0700 2005 1205241 0 AraI
