"You probably don’t like to celebrate your birthday the same way every year. Sometimes, you want a night out that’s the equivalent of lying on an inflatable mattress in a pool. Other times, you’re in more of a rave mood (even though you’ve never been to a rave). For the latter, plan a meal at Rebel on the LES, where you'll find rainbow globe lights, plenty of rum cocktails, great Haitian food, and usually a live band or a DJ." - bryan kim, neha talreja, kenny yang
