18th Birthday Restaurants Nyc New york city is as cosmopolitan as it gets, its residents are a melting pot of nationalities from all over the world, and this reflects in the food on offer. There's probably no better place in the world than new york to celebrate your birthday, so make sure you do it right this year. If you are a food lover, spend your 18th birthday sampling the food from around the globe as you tour the city. Personally a majority of my friends did this when they turned 18! And i'm looking for some cool things to do on that day and some advice for a restaurant.my birthday is in early november and i'm a boy if that may be important.
