Good Restaurant in Manhattan for group

Hi-
Having a girls weekend with 5 of my college roommates. Looking for a good, fun restaurant for dinner, followed by drinks at nearby bars. Thinking east village, LES. Any recommendations? Specifically looking for American or Italian food.

        I've only been to Stanton Social for their brunch tasting menu which was a complete and total scam (tiny portions so you have to order two breakfasts). Would sooner go to Freemans if you're in LES.

        The Smith in the EV is easy, fairly inexpensive, and will suit your purpose. 'inoteca on the LES is another option, as is Schillers. Check out Beauty & Essex too (free champagne in the bathrooms).

          Or you could go across 3rd Av to Apiary instead.
