Turning twenty-one marks a milestone — it’s the ultimate celebration before adulthood really hits. Besides planning an epic party, it’s also smart to start thinking about setting up an emergency fund as a responsible step into this new phase of life. So, take advantage of your new legal drinking age and go all out. For a memorable 21st birthday that you’ll remember (once the hangover fades), consider booking a flight to one of these exciting cities that cater to both new and seasoned drinkers.

New York City, also known as the Big Apple, is practically designed for a drinking adventure. Thanks to its excellent public transportation system, getting around Manhattan and the surrounding boroughs is a breeze, with trains running every five minutes during peak times. The city boasts more than 2,600 bars, pubs, and taverns, providing countless options for a night out. Celebrating your 21st birthday in the city that never sleeps guarantees a night that is long, loud, and unforgettable.
