East/ West Village/Chelsea Recommendation

Group of 4 friends who have not seen each other in a over a year meeting in New York next weekend, one is a vegetarian, ages in low 30's. Any spots I should consider? No sushi. Less than $30 an entree ideal. Any bars for after dinner would be great too. Not looking for trendy, just good food and drink. Thanks so much.

    I sodi on Christopher is great - great food, solid wine list and cocktails, plus it's not too loud so you won't have to scream to catch up with each other. It's on the pricey end but entrees are less than 30 and there are a few (delicious!) vegetarian options. Just make sure you reserve - it's a small place.

      We always take our vegetarian friends to I Sodi. I second your recommendation.
      The fried artichoke, the vegetarian pasta options, especially the risotto with a hint of nutmeg, as well as the artichoke lasagne..the list goes on..... cocktails are also superb!

      The Redhead on E.13th Street has excellent food. Typically only offers one vegetarian entree and doen't accept reservations, if those are issues for you. Fairly quiet and low key, good place to talk and catch up.
