Help! Birthday dinner for 8 this Friday!

I like to stay informed on new restaurants opening around the city, but I have been training for a bunch of races and have lost touch over the summer! My birthday is Friday and I am looking for a fantastic trendy/new spot that is veg friendly that would possibly be able to accommodate my group of 8 so last minute. Help save my birthday please!!!

Marigold might be a good spot--Contemporary Indian. Trendy, but not so trendy that you won't get in. And veg friendly

Or try Tank in Lincoln Square for a fun Japanese spot.

If your vegetarians do sushi, the food at blue coral was great. I was just there last week and it is also quite a trendy atmosphere.

I recently went to Viet Bistro with a group of 6 that included non-meat eaters (fish/seafood was okay) and non-red meat eaters (chicken/fish was okay). Everyone was pretty happy with their meals, and for a Friday night, the place had plenty of room. There's also a nice lounge for gathering before or after dinner for cocktails. I would characterize the place as trendy, so that might fit the bill.

I personally wouldn't return because it's so far out of my neighborhood, but I was glad I tried it!
