nyc: Looking for a cool place in NYC to have my 23rd birthday party. More like a lounge with tables and couches. Not a club because I'd like to be able to talk to my friends and nothing with a huge line outside or a doorman with a attitude.|||Look into these, I think they might be what you are looking for. Sapphire Lounge - 249 Eldridge St. Branch - This is really nice and would be perfect (not crazy expensive and never really a line) http://www.branchny.com/ Aura - http://www.auranyc.com/|||You can try this lounge under a restaurant called Vento's in the meat packing industry. i went there once, its really nice and it has nice tables and sofa's very nice atmosphere. cool crowd, not too packed so you will enjoy urself. if you look up Vento's and find their information they will be able to give you the name of the lounge underneath them, its in the basement basically but its not small so you wont be squished i went there for my bday, we ate at Vento's and then went downstairs afterwards it was alot of fun :)|||i would say yes cause the view is fantastic and your friends will enjoy there the lights are just fanominal! i would recomend for the The Bubble Lounge you would have a nice time there a nice light view and also trying the champagnes over 300 varities of champagne and sparkling wine and trying cheeses and appitizer and just a fun time talking with your friends just sitting in the beautiful lighting lounge just too BEAUTIFUL but its your own choice so i would give you the url so you can check the galleria and see the lighting for your self and at the bubble lounge when it is friday you can listen to nice classical music as always there is entertainment!|||You can try this Italian restaurant: Monte's Trattoria http://www.montestrattorianyc.com
