4 The Naked Cow: For the grazers

The owners must have had big parties in mind when they were working on the restaurant's concept: large dishes meant to be shared, from the appetizers to the main courses. Order platters of mini hamburgers, Philly cheese steak-stuffed buns, and a large roast chicken big enough to feed a group. Wash them down with a two-for-one cocktail from 3-11pm, Mon. to Fri.–perfect birthday party fuel.

5 Zapata s: For the amiable party animal

Put on your dancing shoes and salsa your way over to Zapata's! Parties can be as intimate with ten guests or as rambunctious and crazy as you'd like with over a hundred. Spice up the evening with trays of flaming jalapeno poppers, chimichangas and margaritas, so give Milica a call for a customized a set menu or an extravagant buffet.
