Birthday suggestions

by Nicole Lee

So, my birthday is coming up on May 15th, and I want to throw a party. But I really have no clue as to where to have it. The primary problem seems to be balancing out the quality of food, the size of the group, and the affordability of it all. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to buy everyone food so they might have to pay for the lot themselves, which isn’t really too nice. So the next best option seems to be picking out a decent group dining spot that has good value for large groups. Options seem to include an Italian chain, a hot pot spot, and a Japanese buffet joint. I’ll be honest and say I prefer the hot pot spot, but I don’t know if it’s vegetarian friendly, and I have at least two vegetarians on my guest list. I just feel bad about that sort of thing.

Anyone in San Francisco wanna give me some tips/tricks on how to go about this?

UPDATE: Place decided. It is ON.
