It's no secret New York is well endowed with mega-high skyscrapers, mammoth personalities and egos to match; it's the ultimate playground for the rich and famous, the go-getter, the jet-setter and, well, just about everyone in between. It’s also no secret that it takes money to live here. Fortunately, every good New Yorker knows how to spend a little for a lot more bang. And we’re here to help. It’s August, summer's winding down, and we want everyone to take full advantage of the party before it's too late. Whether you're having a birthday party or just want to celebrate the last days of summer, there’s always a place to go. One of our favorite NYC secrets – hotels. You don't have to be a guest to enjoy the benefits (celeb-like treatment, rooftop pools, chic lounges, and a seemingly endless supply of beachy drinks). The key is: act like you own the place (without throwing telephones or trashing—that never gets you anywhere). Here are some of are favorite hotels with the best birthday get-away/party attributes. Gansevoort Park Ave Hotel: Freshly opened and extremely trendy with the right amount of quirky--just the way the guys and Gansevoort Inc. would have it. The G is the new "young and hip". Case in point, when you walk in, you’re greeted by not one, but three massive MoMa-friendly/new-age-y chandeliers, granite floors, and did we mention the fireplace? That’s just the beginning. Yeah, they have the prerequite bar/sexy lounge area, which is well worth the visit. But the real crème de la crème is the rooftop pool and Plunge Bar. It’s even heated in the winter, for those of you that like late night swims under a full moon. Soho Grand Hotel: Classic boutique hotel in the heart of Soho with a heavy hipster/celeb vibe. The main attraction here is the Grand Bar and lounge. With floor-to-ceiling windows, doors draped in gigantic mirrors, and plenty of privacy, the Grand is perfect for throwing that birthday guy or gal a party away from the in your face club vibe of the Meatpacking district. The Maritime Hotel: With 3,000+ square feet of sheer rooftop-lux, the Cabanas at the Maritime Hotel are no strangers to the party circuit. Plus, it’s the perfect party spot for those hot August nights. Of all the rooftop bars in the city, Maritime is one of the best. Cabana feels a like a little tropical oasis in the middle of Manhattan. On Sundays, after brunch, always expect a dance party with plenty to look at. Thompson LES: Why? Because it's the latest in the design duo that made boutique hotels have a soul. Plus, it's got a pool (with Andy Warhol’s facing staring you dead in eyes). The TLES pool is a party in itself. And everything from the bathrooms to the professionally bedmaking is straight gorgeous in this establishment. Go Saturday nights to literally party the night away. There are plenty more hidden hotspots to be found in NYC. It just takes a little bit of looking. You'll be surprised what you find.

Tired of the urban? Even die-hard Manhattanites need a little reprieve from the gritty, nothing’s-out-of-bounds beat of The City. And in New York, that’s not hard to achieve. At all.
For one, there’s always the Hamptons, favorite of the filthy rich, noveau riche, and those ever-present wannabes. Whether you’re Trump, Diddy, or little Annie catching the Montauk Line for the first time, a little vacay Hamptons-side is never a bad thing. Plus, there’s always a party to discover For the New York birthday guy or gal who wants to get out of the city for bit, we have several favorite Hamptons’ party spots, and, yes, we are gonna share.
Rowdy Hall: In honor of the World Cup, this beer fest has an English Pub feel with a French Bistro menu and of course, that Hamptons chic. Locals and visitors alike flock to Rowdy for a little Sunday supper and sports watching.
Montauk Baby …Plum Island and monsters aside, Montauk is like the LES née Billyburg version of the Hamptons, that is to say, Hipster Central. After careful investigation by numerous blogs, Internet memes, and gossipmongers, it appears the Montauk Beach is where it’s at.
If not at the beach, try Montauk Yacht Club, which hosts parties, swimming, rump shaking, and more. Djs flock to the place as do throngs of well-heeled, car-driving Williamsburg denizens.
Bamboo: Sushi for dinner. No tar balls. Go-to spot come nighttime. ‘nuff said. (p.s. Catch “Eldridge East” Saturdays for some Dj action)
Axe Lounge @ Dune: Dune’s latest reincarnation is brought to you by those people with (sort of?) funny more weird commercials about the powers of a spray on deodorant. Go for laughs, stay for fun. Don’t worry, you won’t feel like you’re stepping into some bizarre real life version of an Axe commercial. This is a go to place in the Hamptons.
Getting there: No car? Not a problem because buses, blimps, trains, and speedboats all service the Hamptons. With style, of course. Check out luxury bus line Hampton Luxury Bus Liner or the Jitney bus line.
Either way, it’s worth the jaunt for a little hot and heavy beach action.

We said “Happy Birthday, America,” ate our apple pies and watched fireworks bursting in the night air. So now what, New Yorkers? It’s July, and the summer party season’s just heating up.
Restaurant Week
Even if you’re not a foodie, you’ll love restaurant week. How can you not? It’s got first class food for a steal. So, that fancy lunch at A Voce that you’ve always wanted to try...now you can because it won’t break the bank. Double dip recession? We don’t think so. Plus, it’s a great birthday surprise.
An Adventure in food. Here’s how it works: 275+ Restaurants. Two Weeks. You’ve got a couple of options: A three-course lunch with a prix fix of $24.07 or the same for dinner at a slightly higher cost - $35. Beverages, tax, and gratuity, alas aren’t included (this is New York, afterall). Restaurant week is the perfect chance to take a birthday guy or gal out for some fine dining.
Some of the participating Gastrohubs:
· Craftbar: Two words – Small Plates. A critic’s fave, Craftbar, has a seasonal menu with simple, yet quality ingredients and family-style dining.
· Nobu: Sushi king.
· Dos Caminos: Very popular Mexican restaurant with guacamole made tableside.
· Blue Water Grill: Grab some topnotch seafood before the tarballs invade. Blue Water Grill is constantly packed and has some tasty oyster treats.
Head to the Roof
Ready to party? For the New York party crowd, summer is all about showing some skin at the hottest hangouts. One thing Manhattan is great at is building lavish rooftop bars.
Here are some of New York’s latest rooftop offerings:
Up: A chic upscale flourish with incredible, clear as day, views of the Chrysler building, a retractable glass ceiling, a fire place, a patio with living green walls, an indoor game room, another bar backlit by LED lights and a great selection of scotches.
Mercat Negre Rooftop: Yes, even Williamsburg has its own rooftop bar. The Mercat, known for its innovative selection of Barcelona-inspired dishes (the chef is a recent NYC transplant) features a full food and drink menu with specialties like Squid ink pasta and paella at its downstairs venue. Up top, there ample deck room with wooden benches and picnic tables.
230 Fifth: Open 365 days a year from 4 in the afternoon to 4 in the morning, 230 Fifth is a New York party palace created by the former owner of Roxy and Palladium. It’s got a sexy Penthouse Lounge/Bar, a heated rooftop garden and a whole lot more. 230 Fifth is great for throwing birthday parties or just a night on the town.
Press: Located on the 16th floor, Press Lounge has a sophisticated, sexy, chic uptown girl in the city kind of vibe complete with a 20-foot reflecting pool and super-comfy leather couches inside. Press is also open all four seasons. The menu is an eclectic mix of America/ Italian cuisine.
So, if you’re aching for a change in the club scene, or want to take your special birthday someone out for a fun party, New York’s rooftop scene doesn’t disappoint. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the City from above.

New Yorkers may complain about the dog-in-crate feel of winters – nobody’s out, slippery sidewalks, and not enough scotch to go around, yet when summer’s heat creeps around, some New Yorkers (don’t worry, we know you’re out there) tend to like the cooler climes where A/C rules, and UV rays are none the wiser.
For the NYC Party Girl or Boy who wants to keep that shiny sheen to a minimum, there’s plenty of places to roam - all the while making like you partied in the Cayman’s for a hot minute.
In June, the party in New York is always evolving. Case in point, the number of bar openings in June. Here are a few:
Casa Mezcal: Think of it as an authentic Mexican cantina, but north of border, no fear or running into Juarez-style cartel here. Casa Mezcal is just as the name says, a bar dedicated to the many flavors of mescal. Beverages include free flavoring bites of orange, salt and agave worms.
Upstairs: Another rooftop bar, this one’s located on the 31st floor of Kimberly Hotel and is 4,000 square feet of lux. Can anyone say heated floors, 360 degree views, and retractable glass ceilings and walls.
Branded Saloon: Hold onto to your steed, Branded takes cowboy culture to new heights. For your pleasure, Branded has an authentic foot-powered piano complete with ragtime and Western tunes, 12 microbrews, of course, plenty of whiskey. Yeeee-Haw!
Loreley Williamsburg: For the beer garden enthusiast. This sister locale of the LES German beer pub, Loreley is modeled after the famous Brauhaus in Cologne, and has all of your favorite German beers (Hofbrau Maibock, Spaten Lager, Kranz Koelsch to name a few).
Done Drinking: Shop till You Drop
Need a break from the bar scene? Take some time out for retail therapy. June offers sales galore- a perfect excuse to find yourself some new threads while shopping for that ideal birthday gift.
Sample sales abound and New York ’s got them every week. In June Helmut Lang, Vena Cava, Catherine Malandrino and Y-3 are offering steeping discounts on designer duds.
Of course, there’s always Saks, where you not only shop, but also can throw a cocktail party or corporate reception. Plus, Saks has two powerhouse restaurants with a delectable selection of international fair.
There are new boutiques opening up in June as well:
Black Gold: This Brooklyn boutique offers a speakeasy feel and an electic mix of records, taxidermy and antiques.
Longchamp has a new home. Two words: Parisian Chic
Petit Boudoir: a new vintage store with designer finds like Givenchy and Ralph Lauren.
Jumbo pop-up shop: Sneaker paradise
So there you have it, for a cool ride in NYC you can do a little afternoon shopping, then don the new threads for the party later.
