A lot of people hold Baptism, Communion and Confirmation parties around the church where the sacrament is administered because it is easy for all the guests to find a spot once in Bay Ridge. If you are looking to rent an empty party room and bring your own food – see here.

 

Here are some restaurants that are used for Baptism parties:

• Hunter’s Steak House – it’s near St. Pat’s Church – a lot of room, good food and a private room. They can do a buffet as well.

• Greenhouse Cafe – 7717 3rd Avenue – very reasonably priced – they have three packages. Atrium in the back for small groups, larger groups use the side room. I’ve had several parties at the Greenhouse Cafe and everyone likes it here

• Chadwicks – it’s a classic

• Gino’s – good Italian food – everyone loves this place

• Cebu has different menu options in several price ranges. Around $30 a person – $28?

• Vesuvios – reasonable price – a lot of food.

• Ariang – good if you have kids and adults because the chef performs while he cooks – Ariang has an upstairs private room – inexpensive

• Sofias – a bit more expensive, but very nice

• Giacomos – beautiful place, a bit more expensive, good Italian food

• Grotto – new place on 3rd Avenue
  

• Brunch at Wicked Monk or O’Sullivan’s. The Wicked Monk has good food and a nice laid back atmosphere for a party – no private room, but they do put the tables together in the back
• Lockyard – Cocktail party menu. Tommy has a few types of menus -reasonably priced. There’s a lot of room here so if you are having entertainment it is nice. Can hold 50 people.  Backyard has an awning/tent and heat lamps when it gets a little chilly.

• Bridgeview Diner – reasonably priced, back room, not as fancy

• Fushimi – My family has a lot of people who don’t eat sushi so it’s not good for our family parties, but I know some people who had a great time there.
