Sometimes it’s just more fun to bring your own libation to the dinner party.  Hidden within the city’s restaurant scene are a few gems that offer delish food to accompany your outside drink of choice. Especially if you have friends who have specific tastes (or who are on a budget), these restaurants offer the BYOB option – bring your own beer, wine or liquor. For a Girls’ Night Out type of  BYOB eve, a great idea would be to bring a bottle (or 2, or 3) of a light liquor, like Smirnoff Sorbet Light, that way you & the girls can focus on conversation and not on calories. Here are MG’s best BYOB restaurants in NYC to host a girls’ night…
