"Don’t go to Starlite for dinner. Instead, visit the 21st-floor rooftop bar in Union Square for the fantastic cocktails and gorgeous views of the city. (There are plenty of great dinner spots nearby once your eyeballs have had their fill.) Focus your attention on the sparkly chandeliers, flashy outfits, and luxurious green velvet couches that make the ideal setting for a birthday photoshoot against the downtown skyline. The best part is that this spot is mostly indoors, so you won’t have to worry about cocktail napkins flying off into the fog." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
