It doesn’t matter how old you are. Birthdays are a big deal. Whether you hate your birthday and want to plan something fun to get your mind off of the day, or you love your birthday and want to celebrate, you want to do something extraordinary.
Since birthdays hold extra meaning than any ordinary day, you don’t just want to sit at home. Some people don’t want to settle for just dinner, so what do you do?
Thankfully in New York we have a lot of options.
1. Go to Soho- who doesn’t love to spend the day shopping?
2. Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge- something that is on many peoples bucket lists
3. Spend the day in Central Park- the park is full of activities. You can plan a picnic, rent bikes or just walk around by the water.
4. Visit the Empire State Building- another thing that is on many peoples bucket lists, to go to the top!
5. Skydiving- offered out east on Long Island or upstate, New York
6. Get a tattoo- why not?
7. Go-Karting
8. Canal Street- more shopping!
9. Visit a museum or take one of the many tours- something locals often over look, but it is fun to play tourist for a day!
10. See a broadway show
11. Go to a concert
12. Road trip!

Whatever it may be that you choose to do on your special day, make sure to spend it with the people you love. Give yourself the day to relax and do what you have always wanted to do. Cross something off your bucket list each year! Most importantly, today is your day to relax and do what you wish, because you deserve it.
