Turning 21 marks your last big, thrilling celebration before stepping into full-fledged adulthood. It’s an event worth going all out for, but it’s also wise to start thinking about your financial future — consider setting up an emergency fund as a responsible move. To make your 21st birthday one to remember (once the haze of celebration fades), consider booking a trip to one of these exciting cities that cater to both seasoned and new drinkers.
New York City, often called the Big Apple, seems designed for those who love a good drink. Getting around Manhattan and its neighboring boroughs is incredibly easy thanks to frequent public transportation, with trains arriving every five minutes during peak hours. The city offers an impressive array of over 2,600 bars, pubs, and taverns. A 21st birthday celebration in the city that never sleeps promises to be loud, long, and liberating.
