As the East Village keeps filling up with newer, hotter, harder-to-get tables, Supper has only solidified its reputation as the neighborhood’s top option for birthday dinners that involve a few too many bottles of wine. From the team behind nearby Frank and Lil Frankie’s (who also know how to throw parties), this cash-only Italian restaurant has a seemingly unlimited supply of big tables. Their nearly windowless back room easily fits your 30 closest friends. Besides all the space, and the fact that bottles of wine start at $40, Supper’s simple, satisfying pasta dishes have made it one of our go-to recommendations for groups with something to celebrate since it opened in 2002. If you’re extremely uninterested in the birthday scene, just come on a weekday for their cult-favorite spaghetti al limone. On those nights, the brick-walled dining room and sidewalk patio are a quiet setting for a catch-up and a few glasses of white. But the pasta will be just as good even on the wildest of Friday nights, when you’re sitting next to a raucous group that's deep into their third round of espresso martinis.
