Blkatz - i live and work in C.C. too! what neighborhood do you live in? have i asked this before? lol We have been dying to go to Chifa - did you like it? Katrina - i love El Vez as well but I would actually suggest El Camino Real over El Vez - not as expensive and just as good if not better - it is new and on Liberties Walk across from Bar Ferdinand. and El Azteca recently got their liquor license so i am not sure if you can bring your own tequila anymore Lucky Strike or North Bowl are GREAT ideas! sooo maybe we are onto something here... you guys could go to El Camino Real (mexican food, margaritas, great jukebox, fun atmosphere - then after dinner walk like 4 blocks south to North Bowl (you could reserve the area upstairs where they have 2 private bowling lanes and a lounge area next to the upstairs bar - it is nice and overlooks the whole downstairs!)

Alyssa-name the time and day and I will have cocktails!

I know it sounds crazy, but I have a ton of gay friends, and you will never have a better time than going to the gay bars! Plus you don't have to worry about a bunch of lame guys chasing you all around all night. I don't specifically know which ones they go to, but can ask which are the best if you wanted to do that!

if my "best gay" was still alive i can guarantee we'd be out at the gay bars ... ALWAYS the best time. sadly, he passed about 2 years ago ... still can't believe he won't be at my wedding!

on a happier note, thanks so much ladies for all the great suggestions. we were already looking at el vez (though might be pricey for some) and el azteca (we used to frequent the one in the northeast before it closed ... very yummy margaritas!). my MOH suggested possibly silk city afterward?

i had also thought about lucky strike (never been there, but sounds like fun), but never heard of north bowl ... gotta check that out too. those might be better options as i will likely have some older ladies (my two sisters are bridesmaids and they are 50 and 48!!!) mixed with 30-ish girls. actually, i'm not sure if my sisters would come out beyond dinner ... they might feel awkward.

it would be 20 girls if *everyone* came ... probably more like 10 of us in reality, lol.

oh and all you philly girls should check out this thread: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t36815. we still need to nail down a time, but we're doing a BDW meetup at chickie's and pete's in south philly on saturday, april 18th!
