"If what you want most out of a birthday is a fancy cocktail experience, then there’s no better place than The Aviary. This upscale lounge in Fulton Market is from the same owners as Alinea, so you can expect $28 drinks, complex apparatuses that look like lab experiments, and cocktails served in a bottle with a glass pirate ship inside of it. Reservations are recommended for groups, but you can also try walking in—there might be a wait, but you can use that time to figure out how to rearrange your monthly budget after a night here.
