Bouley: Perfect Rehearsal Dinner

Last night we were invited to a private party at the not-yet-open Bouley in its new location. As it was my favorite restaurant when I moved to New York over a decade ago, I just had to attend.

In the main dining room, guests nibbled on heavenly hors d'oeuvres.

Bouley's washrooms are always great -- this one is like a sexy boudoir-- velvet walls.

I snuck into the private dining room for 80 to give you a sneak peek!

What I found is that Bouley (as a restaurant group) has a few great options for private dining -- and I'd like to be around for any of them. There are rooms at his restaurants for parties of 20-80. But I like the coffered, cave-like room at the new restaurant -- and it's so au courant!
