Turning twenty-one marks a significant milestone. It’s the last major birthday celebration before stepping into real adulthood. It’s essential not only to plan the party but also to start thinking about your future, like setting up an emergency fund. Celebrating your newfound legal drinking age deserves a grand celebration. To create an unforgettable memory (once the haze of drinking wears off), book a trip to one of these exciting cities that’s perfect for both new and seasoned drinkers.

New York City is practically designed for those who love to drink.
