Venue Recommendations
I decided to do DD's christening and bday party the same day and now need a venue. I'm in the Queens area so I don't want anything too far. I'm willing to go to LI but not too far out east. Any recommendations and if you have price that will help a lot as well.
Party will be in January.
Thanks.

What kind of place are you looking for? Restaurant? Hall space?

If I'm paying per person than my total guest list won't exceed 60. Not looking to spend no more than $60 per person.
If I rent a hall, than I might end up with about 80-100 people.

Re: Venue Recommendations
At that $60 pp and 60 people, I think that a party at a nice restaurant is really intimate, with great food and will offer you the best bang for your $$.
That being said, if you wanted to, some wedding venues may have a great price in January. I'd try to price out Swan's club & Westbury manor: both are nice & very outdoors, so may work with you on the price. Fox Hollow is further, but has a very pretty room. Not sure how it's priced. Forget Terrace on the park (I called a few times recently & they couldn't get below $60 pp excluding tax & tip).
I hosted 2 parties already at Louie's Oyster Bar & Grille. I like their food & love the room they can give you for about 60 people.
I've also done pizzarias & Italian restaurants (private rooms). It's an easy party & can be dolled up.
Last party I did (DD Christening) was adjacent to a golf-course Italian restaurant & they closed down the restaurant for us (we just went in & asked if they could handle it). It was $38 a head for a really amazing menu (alcohol separate) and was amazing. The place closed now.
Try any local restaurants around you... most can make a menu. I've been to a bunch of events on Metropolitan in Forest Hills. Last one was at Dee's and a lot of fun (Jack & Jill baby shower).
