ULTIMATE GUIDE: THINGS TO DO IN NYC FOR BIRTHDAYS

1.     Cozy Up At the Finest Bars in NYC

Pick a rooftop bar in NYC and spend a relaxing evening with your gang while sipping on your favorite drink. If its winter, even better! Go to a hot spot with a fireplace. Molly’s Pub and Restaurant is the perfect place for a fun, toasty winter night filled with craft beer and board games in a private room. In the summer, you may want to check out the rooftop bar at the Library Hotel for a private party.

2.     Throw a Backyard Bash

Across the Brooklyn Bridge, Freehold is a spacious, outdoor spot for a birthday hangout located in Williamsburg. With plush grass, fairy lights, comfortable furniture, and ice cream frozen cocktails, you can have some fun here with your closest friends on your big day. Plus, it is socially distanced and there are always food trucks outside for a quick snack or even birthday cake!

3.     Have a Pizza Party

This is not a new birthday idea. Pizza is undoubtedly everyone’s favorite food so why not have an adult pizza party on your birthday. Roberta’s offers the best pizza in Bushwick. Buy out the atrium there or another one of their dining rooms and get the party started with the best food and drink.

4.     Knock down some Pins

Brooklyn Bowl is a bowling alley that offers great bowling experience along with live music (hint: dance parties). If you have a rowdy group of friends, this is the place to be. The carnival-game relics and old freak-show posters give the place an energetic vibe.

5.     A Rejuvenating Spa Day

Indulge at one of the best spas and bath house in NYC. Treat yourself and your girl gang with some pampering this year on your birthday. Many places offer birthday packages and deals to make your day even better.

6. Host a Party Trolley

Grab 33 of your best friends and take the ultimate party bus in NYC. BYOB, sound system, heat and A/C - what more can you ask? Fun fact, it’s the perfect way to celebrate a birthday in the greatest city. You can make as many stops as you like whether it’s a leisurely cruise by the Brooklyn Bride and Empire State Building, serious bar crawl to Dreamland Roller Disco, adventurous pizza food tour through Long Island City or Staten Island, or laser tag at Indoor Extreme Sports.
