New York City is chock-full of places to eat, party and celebrate. However, even native New Yorkers may not realize the extensive opportunities held in their very own city. New York attractions go well beyond what you see on the surface in trendy Times Square. History and art buffs will love the multiple museums; theater-lovers will have ample stage shows to choose from. The late-night crowd will barely be able to narrow down which clubs and restaurants to hit before the evening's up. - If you need a bit of help planning your birthday--or would like to capitalize on your birthday plans by saving some money--consider purchasing a birthday party package. Companies like Birthday NYC will help you decide where to throw your party. You'll be able to customize everything from the locating to the drinks and food that are served, plus your decorations and entertainment. Choose from venues that include Sidebar in Union Square, Pink Elephant in Chelsea and Pop Burger in the Meatpacking District.
- If you'll be celebrating a child's birthday, there are plenty of great, fun options that will interest both kids and adults in New York City. If your little one is three years old or younger, he'll love celebrating their birthday at Funworks. Playtime "classes" include puppets, collages, painting and slides. Funworks accommodates multiple children for birthday parties.
Young children to teenagers will love the Alice in Wonderland-themed Alice's Tea Cup. Wee Tea birthday service includes sandwiches, scones, chocolate milk and teas. Additions to basic birthday parties include a live Mad Hatter, a magician, a face painter or a live Alice who will read excerpts from the beloved fairy tale.
Girlie girls will love to spend their birthday at the American Girl store. Birthday party packages includes brunch, lunch or dinner; cake and ice cream; goody bags for each guest; and doll hair services. - Spice up your birthday trip to New York by focusing on a central theme. If you love to be scared, consider checking out all the haunted New York City stops. Creepy places include the Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn and the resting plot behind the Bowery Hotel. The Dakota is rumored to be home to John Lennon's ghost, and the Chelsea Hotel is the final resting spot for the ghosts of both poet Dylan Thoomas and Nancy Spungen, Sid Vicious' girlfriend. If you're a "Madmen" fan, take a stroll down Madison Avenue and stop in for a strong martini at a dark bar.
