Turning 21 isn’t just about celebrating legal drinking; it’s also about stepping into real adulthood. Along with planning a fun night, consider starting an emergency fund as a responsible move. Celebrate your newfound freedom responsibly, and if you want an unforgettable experience, consider visiting some exciting cities.

New York City, for instance, seems almost designed for drinking. With an excellent public transportation system that runs frequently and over 2,600 bars, pubs, and taverns, celebrating your 21st in the Big Apple will be memorable and liberating.
