My company is pretty young (mid 20's - mid 30's) and there will be about 40 of us. There is no real food preference other than it be tasty and the space needs to be nice and preferably trendy and in an open space. Private dining rooms with no windows won't work so my selections seem to be a bit limited. We have looked into Bourbon, Inde Bleu and Sonoma to give you an idea, but thought I would throw it out on here to see if you all had any thoughts. Thanks!!

Another option would be the top floor at Cafe Atlantico or the private dining room at Central. Also, I just got an email (while I was reading your post) from PS7 re: holiday parties and this seems perfect: Get out your calendars! The holiday season is quickly approaching and now is the time to book your private event at PS7’S.

Very cool, very funky, Jackie is a gem. Here's the website - they do holiday parties in the "industrial" back room or main restaurant: http://www.jackiesrestaurant.com/ Good luck! :) Helene Mon Oct 27 18:48:33 -0700 2008 4132201 235683 helhigh 1 4136931 Thanks for the rec's!
