best resaurant for sisters birthday party

sry by accident i put this topic in the north creek forum for some reason...i dont know why..anyway:

Hi! my sister is turning 14 in Feb. and would like to take a group of her friends to a fun restaurant in the city...we live on long island and i think my dad might hire a limio to take her friend in and including our family..i dont know about the limo part yet..this is what i have in mind for resturant ideas and what she had agreed on so far:

-planet hollywood

-hard rock cafe

-mars 2112 (we were just there yesterday..liked the atmosphere but really didnt care for the food...or the 2+ hr. wait)

-jekyll and hyde

she needs a fun place with a decent menu that her friends will have something they will like...b/c some of her friends are picky eaters..

i hope some1 can give me some other suggestions and some feedback on the restaurants i chose! thanks in advanced!

Hi - I have a just-turned 15-year old daughter so maybe I can help out a bit...

Stay away from Jekyll %26amp; Hyde - when my daughter was 13 she thought this the stupidest place on the face of the earth ;-)

You%26#39;ve alreday come up with the answer for Mars 2112 - stay away!

There%26#39;s nothing wrong with either Hard Rock or Planet Hollywood - but I%26#39;ll bet the waits will be long.

I%26#39;d also recommend Ellen%26#39;s Stardust Diner, John%26#39;s Pizzeria or ESPN Zone as well as Virgil%26#39;s BBQ.

You should Google all of these to get a feel for them - Ellen%26#39;s has a singing waitstaff and they can sing Happy Birthday to your sister!

Good luck with your search.

I%26#39;ll add Ruby Foo%26#39;s, it can be fun for young teens.

Another fun place is The Cowgirl Hall of Fame in the West Village at 519 Hudson St. Southweatern and Tex/Mex food in a funky hip atmosphere.

Thanks for all of the advice! i think more than likely shes going to be between hard rock and planet hollywood...we have been to hard rock plenty of times b/c we go to st. thomas every year and before it closed down last yr, we always made a stop to eat there...anyway i think she might want to try planet hollywood b/c she has never been there before..i have (not the one in the city but the one in washington d.c. on a class trip) but since i was on a class trip they limited the menu and i didnt like it...i kno the waiting time wont be long b/c i know she is inviting between 15-20ish people and every place you go to, they take reservations for large parties...if you had to choose between hard rock and planet hollywood, what would you choose? Thanks again!
