Old school kitsch in the form of crab-shaped menus and nautical decor is the star at this charming family-owned restaurant on City Island, in the Bronx. Selfies in plastic bibs are optional, but the troughs of spaghetti topped with lobsters, clams, shrimp and more are nearly essential for groups. Other shareable feasts under $100 feed four or more, including a bounty of fresh seafood, appetizers, sides and all the necessary accoutrements.

For a more refined night out, treat the bride to a skewer-centric tasting menu at this restaurant inspired by the traditional festival cuisine of the Korean royal court. A $75 pre-fixe menu includes nine elegant courses, which can be amped up with luxe add-ons like caviar, shaved truffles, and uni. Kochi is currently BYOB with no corkage fee.

For groups that love to shop, this Saks Fifth Avenue restaurant imported straight from Paris is the place to be. An all-day menu features small plates and entrees, like an understated yet excellent avocado or tuna starter, dover sole, and a veal chop covered in morels. Cocktails and mocktails are crafted by mixologist Nico De Soto, and after eating, diners can haul their shopping bags down to Le Chalet, a cozy Alpine lounge offering cocktails and shareable desserts.

Meat lovers, this is the bachelorette spot. The always-packed, always-satisfying Korean steakhouse is just one of those restaurants that improves with the size of the group. Take turns barbecuing American Wagyu and USDA Prime beef on gold-rimmed charcoal grills. After dinner, head downstairs to the jungle-themed Undercote, where funky cocktails decked out with hot pink paper flamingo straws are reason enough to stay all night.

Chef-owner Angie Mar is a dream bachelorette party guest, and while her presence isn’t guaranteed at all bachelorette soirees, her culinary influence is. Cozy up in the chic townhouse-cum-steakhouse to share opulent raw seafood platters and shareable butcher’s blocks starring in-house aged steaks, like the fabulous cote du beauf adorned with tart marrow blistered blackberries and charred prawn butter. 

For a cozy bachelorette celebration, this Greenwich Village spot inspired by the listening bars of Japan has a music-centric underground lounge that is ideal for an intimate night out. The $50 prix-fixe izakaya pairs the menu with diner-selected tunes from the vinyl jukebox, supplemented by dozens of sake varieties that are available by the glass, carafe, and bottle. Next door, sister restaurant Air’s Champagne Bar specializes in bubbly to keep the night popping.

The Manhattan living room of the coolest friend in the bridal party probably doesn’t even come close to the ambiance at Acme, which has bistro-chic vibes and the fashionable food to accompany the dining room. A thick-noodled cacio e pepe is served as a shareable app, as is wild mushroom tempura and roasted bone marrow, with meat-heavy main courses like steak frites.

Paella is basically party fuel in sheer size and complexity alone, and Socarrat isn’t shy about showing diners a fun — and gluten-free — time. Choose from several iterations of the signature dish, all priced per serving, like the arroz negro, packed with shrimp, calamari, white fish, scallops, piquillo pepper, fava beans, and squid ink sofrito or the carne with short ribs, chicken, chorizo, snow peas, and mushroom sofrito. Tapas, jamon, and queso boards are abundant, but a meal wouldn’t be complete without a pitch of sangria. Or many. At brunch, $39 buys a three-course prix-fixe, plus 90 minutes of unlimited sangria and mimosas.

A destination bachelorette to Southern Italy may not be in the budget, but once diners are standing on the table waving white napkins and garlic bread overhead, the energy is similar to a rowdy trattoria on the Italian coast. This 100-year-old staple draws a crowd eager to scarf pasta and party, as evidenced by the three party packages, starting at $23.95. Live entertainment keeps diners as sated as the stuffed rigatoni, which goes down way too easy with a complimentary bottle of house wine.

Plant-based bachelorettes can reserve a spot at chef Amanda Cohen’s ode to all things veggie. Two tasting menus, the Vegetable Patch ($65, tip included) or the Vegetable Garden ($99, tip included) serve five to ten courses, respectively, of seasonal produce dressed up in inventive, interactive dishes. Brussels sprouts are served on a hot stone alongside lettuce and accoutrements to assemble tacos, while a kettle of steamy cabbage broth comes with vegetable noodles, condiments, and more raw vegetables for a vegan take on hot pot. Optional wine pairings can be added on to the tasting, and Dirt Candy only serves wines made by women.

A neighborhood favorite, this colorful Peruvian-Japanese spot nails every fusion dish, like fluke ceviche with a hint of habanero and whole fish with a bright yellow aji amarillo. Cocktails on draft — including a pisco, mezcal, and Campari concoction — keep the drinks flowing, and warmer months offer a spacious rooftop.

The $99-per-person feast is a worthwhile indulgence at Danny Bowien’s Chinatown restaurant. The family-style feast includes restaurant highlights like Chongqing chicken wings, Mapo tofu, salt cod fried rice, thrice cooked bacon, pea greens in pumpkin broth, and much more. Alternatively, groups can opt to choose their own adventure using the restaurant’s inventive a la carte menu.

Three words: tequila on tap. And one more: chamorrito. That is, the restaurant’s signature pork shank, slow roasted in banana leaf and served with beans and pressed-to-order tortillas that the party can fill with tender meat and pickled onions. This offshoot of the Queens original takes family recipes, elevates the classics, and treats diners with friendly service and all types of agave spirits. For dessert, a chocolate bomb dropped directly on the table and exploding with homemade ice cream and fruit keeps the party going past the last bite.

Sohui Kim’s Gowanus restaurant is a party-night hybrid: It houses both a stellar Korean barbecue restaurant and top-notch karaoke rooms in the back. Start with a round of shared plates for the table, like zingy tteokbokki and veggie- or meat-stuffed mandu, followed by a round of barbecue that can include a mushroom platter, so even vegetarian friends can participate. For drinks, there are rum or tequila-based punch bowls for groups that will encourage the shy half of the table to eventually sing along to their favorite Britney hit.

Korean sticky ribs, thick slab pastrami bacon, and a few helpings of queso mac-and-cheese are messy but essential picks at Hometown Bar-B-Que. The lines at this cafeteria-style eatery may move slow, but that’s okay when you’re sipping an easy-to-drink cocktail out of a mason jar. Live music in the back encourages dancing up more of an appetite. The restaurant doesn’t take reservations though, so bring some party games to play in line.

One of the most interesting tasting menu spots to open in Brooklyn in recent years, Oxalis treats diners to a $70 carte blanche, plus an optional $45 beverage pairing or $30 for nonalcoholic drinks. Dishes are creative yet indulgent, starring hyper-seasonal produce and ingredients manipulated to their most impressive forms, like tender yet sweet braised greens and radicchio balanced in caramelized sake.
