Unless you are "a friend of the house" you can not get a reservation at Buvette -- much less for 12 people. PS3 is that "friend of the house."

This is one highly covetable, truly special and extremely rare opportunity to cop a rezzie and have a fantastic Family style Sunday supper for up to 12 guests in the back room at Buvette.

Take yourself and 11 friends to the wonderfully inviting Buvette. Chef Jody Williams' gastrothèque serves delicious Gallic small plates all day, so there is always a reason for a visit. A white marble dining counter set before polished stemware and bottles of wine dominates the petite, brick-walled room. Everthing seems alive with chatter and jazz.

Buvette's snacks focus on French classics, as in silken batons of leek drizzled with stimulating Dijon vinaigrette; or a croque forestier, filled with béchamel, oven-dried tomato, wild mushrooms, and Gruyère seasoned with herbes de Provence. It goes without saying that a glass of wine is practically mandatory, say a flinty Bourgogne aligoté chosen off the blackboard selection, framed within the outline of France?
