NYC’s Best B-Day Party Spots
Beauty & Essex
Not only does the bilevel restaurant have mouth-watering lobster tacos and chicken meatballs, but birthday boys and girls planning to strut their stuff will be right at home in the private peacock-themed dining room.
Beauty & Essex, 146 Essex Street, between Stanton and Rivington Streets (212-614-0146 or beautyandessex.com).
Yerba Buena
Toast to your own awesomeness with a frothy pisco sour and fresh churros at the affordable East Village spot. If your crew gets woozy from all the celebrating, try the picada — a group-size portion of yucca croquetas and spicy chorizo with sauce.
Yerba Buena, 23 Avenue A, between East 2nd and 1st Streets (212-529-2919 or ybnyc.com).
The Campbell Apartment
If your friends don’t already know what a class act you are, they will as soon as they set foot in the ritzy Grand Central enclave with a Prohibition-style Scotch menu, Kentucky Ginger cocktails, artisanal cheese plates, and roast beef sliders.
The Campbell Apartment, 15 Vanderbilt Avenue, between 42nd and 43rd Streets (212-953-0409 or hospitalityholdings.com). (Jun 9, 2012)
