3. Open House
When Open House was being designed, Blackbook columnist, Steve Lewis, was consulted for his remarkable knowledge of city nightlife in order to create an elegant party space that combines both modernity and classical styles. This chic venue offers the perfect balance between contemporary swank and vintage old-school providing the perfect location for any birthday party. It is described as “a cordial house setting” where the antique furniture, flowers in mason jar vases, and gilded wallpaper, coupled with the unique flavors of bacon infused whiskey, strawberry infused rum, or blueberry vodka sets the mood for a laid back atmosphere that can be enjoyed by any party goer out there. The homey feel of Open House offers an immediate comfortability so plan to dance the night away to a mix of hip hop, top 40, electro, rock, 80’s and old school favorites on the main floor of this lower east side hot spot at a birthday party more memorable than your 21st! Check out Open House

 

4. The Ainsworth
The Ainsworth in Chelsea is one fabulous and unique birthday party venue! This venue is the perfect combination of a restaurant, lounge, and event space that can hold up to five hundred guests! They have an open floor plan with plenty of seating, eight HD TV’s, a DJ booth, and a large bar space. Don’t forget about their tasty menu with Crispy Artichokes, Mussels and Sausage, Thai Kale Salad, and the to-die-for Mac& Cheese Burger (panko-crusted mac and cheese, a tender beef patty, and another scoop of ooey gooey macaroni and cheese, yum!) You and your guests will definitely not leave hungry! They also have great specials throughout the week if you are looking for a smaller event to celebrate another year of your fantastic life. Either way, the Ainsworth is worth checking out!

 

5. The Gilded Lily
Travel down a staircase beneath The Monarch Room restaurant to the golden dusted club. The sunken dance floor is the ideal space for dancing on your birthday night but if your feet get tired do not worry; expanding outward from the dance floor are concentric rings with seating, dining, and drinking areas. The club is inspired by the Gilded Age, reflected in its name, and if you choose the Gilded Lily for your birthday extravaganza you’ll feel like you were born in the wrong era. The music is fun, generally artists such as Kid Cudi, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, J-Kwon, and moonlighting live DJ’s. There are tons of delicious drinks to choose from including several types of beer, a tasty cocktail menu, and champagnes. The Gilded Lily would be a superb venue for your birthday celebration!
