in need of an event location

[dani-namaste.livejournal.com]

Hi all,

My studio is hosting an AIGA AFTA party in late August (it's a collection of designers from all over the city who come together in the name of good conversation, free appetizers and drinks that cost too much), and I'm looking to find a location for it.

The qualifications:

Must be able to accomodate under-21 folk;
Must be able to accomodate a pretty decent crowd (the one I went to was 50-80 people easy);
Must be reasonably accessible by public transit;
Must have decent vegetarian food.

Any thoughts? I greatly appreciate your help.

Er, does it have to be in Davis Sq?

not at all—I was thinking that someplace in Davis might work, but I don't know of any places that could handle that capacity. Since I'm newish to the area though, I was wondering if anyone did know.

Coupla suggestions for you...

I recently had to arrange a dinner for 30 people and we had it at Greenfields Brazilian Churrascaria on Brighton Ave in Allston/Brighton. It's absolutely enormous and they can set aside a whole area for your group. A few people were vegetarians and they were totally content with the veggie options at the salad bar and buffet. http://www.greenfieldchurrascaria.com/

The other idea, is that if you don't get a lot of good leads here, you could try posting at this question at chowhound:
