Have a friend in town on business, taking her out to dinner tonight (Thursday). We both consider ourselves foodies, but she also wants a "scene" in addition to a good meal. Was going to go to Wayfare but no available reservations. ideas???

The Financial District.

So where did you go?

[princesscrunchy]

We went to Wayfare; it was perfect!

[Ruth Lafler]

Thanks! What did you have to eat, or was it mostly the "scene."

Barbacco, Bocadillo's, Wexler's, and Comstock Saloon should all be hopping. I'm not sure how the food is at Cigar Bar these days.

I love Cigar Bar for the outdoor patio, but the food is at best above-average bar food. Plantains and calamari are the office favorites when we go there for happy hour.

From a quick search on Open Table, here are some places with reservations that have good food and also a bit of a scene: Barbacco, Gitane (especially in the bar area, and they have fantastic cocktails and nice outside tables), La Mar, Perbacco (though it's a little more restrained than Barbacco, it's little sister next door), and...Wayfare Tavern, which currently has a 7:30 reservation.
