18 year old birthday celebration in manhattan

We are thinking about taking 10 18 year old girls to manhattan for a birthday celebration and need suggestions on what to do and where to take them to eat. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  1. Budget? Location? Formal or casual? Loud or quiet? Any cuisines you prefer or dislike?

      Nothing too fancy, casual and anywhere in Manhattan. I guess it would have to be loud since it's girls going. Nothing too crazy on cuisine. I was thinking that if it was a nice day we would shop a little, maybe go to the shake shack for lunch and then do something fun for dinner.

    2. Two options come to mind:

      The chef's table at The Breslin at the Ace Hotel

      DBGB, which has great tables that accommodate 10 (IIRC)

      DBGB
      299 Bowery, New York, NY 10003

      The Breslin
      20 W 29th St, New York, NY 10001

        Take them to Shanghai Cafe on Mott and order off the secret Chinese menu the tastes will be very pleasing and its good to expose kids that age to something outside their Jersey Shore crazed minds

      2. How about Stanton Social? I know I would've loved it and felt a bit "grown up" as a 18-year-old girl.
