Turning 21 is a rite of passage into the real world of being an actual human being. Now you can vote and buy alcohol, and you are pretty much a real life adult. While your 21st will probably just be you drowning in tequila somewhere with your friends, it is also fun to imagine all of the cool cities you would want to spend it in. So here are some of the places that would be ideal to spend your 21st birthday.
1. Your College Town
As boring as it sounds, wouldn't you love to finally be actually banded over in some of your favorite bars? Plus all of your friends can be there to celebrate and you can participate in all of the traditions.
Featuring Kens.
2. New York City, New York
I can't think of a better place to spend your 21st birthday than the city that never sleeps. You can dress fancy and act less than fancy. You are sure to find a good bar and some cheap, delicious food afterwards.
3. New Orleans, Louisiana
Although Bourbon Street doesn't exactly smell like Bourbon and closed-toed shoes are an absolute necessity here, this city surely knows how to party. With bars lining the streets, it's impossible not to have a good time. Plus, the food is phenomenal, so those late-night drunk cravings will be satisfied.
4. Las Vegas, Nevada
Even though "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" applies, just make sure you don't marry a stripper, get a face tattoo, or end up with a tiger in your hotel room. Mike Tyson won't be too happy about it. And make sure all of your friends stay together, because the hangover will not be pretty.
5. Savannah, Georgia
Savannah is the perfect place for a 21st Birthday. With bars located all up and down River Street, it makes it easy to avoid taxis and to just walk from bar to bar. Not to mention, you can take a Beer Pedal Tour with your friends. But don't forget to stop into Wet Willie's, which serves alcoholic slushies in a variety of flavors.
6. Nashville, Tennessee
The music city is bound to be a great place to be for a 21st birthday. All of the bars have amazing live music that you can enjoy all night long while also going a cold one. The combination, along with your best pair of cowboy boots, will serve for an eventful and unforgettable evening.
7. The Florida Keys
What better way to spend your 21st than surrounded by crystal blue water, palm trees, and margaritas? You'll pretty much never want to go home ever again. Not to mention that it is usually expected to day-drink there as well. You can always start the party early.
8. That hometown bar that always checked your ID
I mean, really... Wouldn't it be great to just waltz into that bar or restaurant and say "ID me now!" Nothing is more satisfying than being right.
Even though your 21st is allowed to be a little crazy, always make sure you are being safe, and always remember to never drink and drive.
