Turning 21 is the ultimate celebration before stepping into the responsibilities of adulthood. It’s not just about the party; it’s also a good time to think about starting an emergency fund to help you navigate the financial aspects of adult life. So, go big and make the most of your newfound legal drinking age. For a 21st birthday you won’t easily forget (once you shake off the hangover), consider visiting some of these exciting cities that cater to both new and seasoned drinkers.

New York City, for instance, seems tailor-made for drinking adventures. With its excellent public transportation system across Manhattan and its neighboring boroughs, getting around is a breeze. Trains run every five minutes during peak times, so you won’t have to worry about waiting. Plus, NYC is home to over 2,600 bars, pubs, and taverns. A 21st birthday celebration in the city that never sleeps promises to be long, lively, and liberating.
