I'm going to Peasant on Saturday night. The reservation is kind of late so want to meet my friend for a drink before dinner. Any suggestion of low-key cocktail places or wine bars?

Il Brigante on Front St. has great pizza and nice atmosphere.
Dinosaur, Hill Country or Daisy May's
Im organizing a birthday dinner for a friend and a group of about 7 people. Of the 3 bbq places what's the most fun? 2 people are vegetarians so also who has the best sides(mac and cheese etc). I welcome other options also.
Thanks
"New York" Italian?
Nothing beats Gino. The food hits the spot and the atmospheres especially the zebra wallpaper is fun.
meal mart
I have to say i am extremely impressed with Meal Mart Passover meals. I usually am away but I am home this year so I stocked up. For lunch i had a huge salad topped with some of their spicy sausage and I was impressed. Like regardless of it being Pesach I would use their sausage year round. I also made their Brisket microwave dinner which was tasty.
Favorites in Staten Island
Any neighborhood is fine. We have a car and are going to be driving around.

Advice: Wisdom Tooth Extraction, what to eat?
I am almost completely recovered and it has been about 6 weeks since my procedure.
If you live in NYC head over to pastrami queen. They make the softest potato knishes and in the week after my procedure my diet was basically applesauce and a knishes.
I had dissolving stitches in my mouth and it took me a good 3 weeks till i felt almost normal and could open my mouth completely.
Breakfast
Thanks for the replies. it's just for 3 people during the week. Preferably not in a hotel. Its not a super formal but we need to be able to hear our conversation and have good service. I am interested diners that are known for breakfast and any good breakfast /brunch spots.
Breakfast
I need to set up some breakfast meetings in brooklyn. What are some good places? I am looking for places that are busy for breakfast.
Nothing too fancy just good. I like diners but I am open to other suggestions. Any neighborhood is fine.

Advice: Wisdom Tooth Extraction, what to eat?
I had 2 very badly impacted wisdom teeth out thursday and had to get stitches. For everyone who needs to have the procedure it isn't bad at all. I have only taken advil the first day and have not needed any serious pain medicine. The only thing is that i am still not comfortable eating. I have been living on applesauce and just eating it bec i have to take antibiotics. When will i feel comfortable eating again? also how long after surgery can you drink from a straw?
Butternut squash soup
Butternut squash soup
I am looking for the best butternut squash soup in Manhattan.
I prefer a soup that is on the natural side and not loaded with cream.
Montreal for 5 days
i really liked the ambiance and the music. I went for a late dinner and for lunch. For Lunch I had smoked salmon with maple blinis. The food was spot on.
It did not remind me of Balthazar. I love Balthazar and go there often this was just different. Lexpress reminded me of balthazar.
