Can someone recommend a fun and trendy NYC restaurant?

I'm looking for a restaurant that's good for a group of about 20.

Balthazar

80 Spring St. (Soho, between Crosby & Broadway)

Cool, hip, trendy and a magnet for models and rock stars, this is one of NYC's coolest and most popular restaurants, which also happens to resemble a Parisian brasserie.

Blue Water Grill

31 Union Square West (at 16th Street)

212-675-9500

Great for brunch, lunch or dinner and right on Union Square; fun atmosphere. Voted 7th Most Popular Restaurant in New York in the 2006 Zagat Survey and applauded as a restaurant

that is “perfect for dates” and “never disappoints,” Blue Water Grill is a dining destination. Loyal guests and curious visitors are drawn to the former Metropolitan Bank space that features s**y, dimly-lit red chandeliers illuminating the intimate dining room, a spacious people-watching outdoor café and a cozy subterranean lounge featuring live jazz music.
