Vibe: Remember your friend's well-traveled, quietly confident and subtly sexy foreign mother that you always had a thing for back in the day?  Well just because you're all grown up doesn't mean you can't still fantasize, so hold your birthday party at New York City's Haven, and pretend it's Mrs. What's-Her-Name's sitting room and her husband is out of town. 

Spot: Midtown's villa-like restaurant is filled with trinkets and souvenirs from all over the globe, from snakeskin walls, to Bali masks, to swords from Hong Kong (try to keep your inner samurai at bay).  Your birthday party can lounge in the nostalgic nooks, or occupy the more traditional café-style seating while grooving to international beats.   

Grub: Keeping with the global feel, Haven serves a sampling of tapas which draw inspiration from all around the world, including Peruvian Ceviche, Jumbo Lump Crab, Cajun Shrimp, Szechuan Dumplings and American Macaroni and Cheese (we are in America, after all).

The Deal: If you want your New York City birthday party to be comfortable yet still very classy (and sexy of course), Haven is a perfect place to host friends that can appreciate a global atmosphere.  Haven is New York City's proof that good food, high culture, and binge drinking can all fit into the same birthday party.
