New York City is one of the greatest places in the world to celebrate a birthday. Why? Because it has everything. See the city from the skies in a penthouse loft you can rent for your closest hundred or so friends and family. Or stake out a table at a restaurant in one of New York's ethnic neighborhoods like Little Italy, Chinatown or Koreatown. And if it's a twist on the classic birthday party that you want, have a blast at a glow-in-the-dark bowling bash.

Does this Spark an idea?

1. Simple

   • If you're looking to have a small get-together, with 10 to 20 people and interesting food, consider a birthday party in one of the intimate, authentic Indian restaurants on Sixth Street in the East Village. Also called Little India, Sixth Street between First and Second avenues offers no less than two dozen restaurants that serve traditional and modern twists on the flavors of India. What will make this party stand out is that just before the cake is served, the restaurant lights will dim, strings of twinkling rainbow lights will start blinking in a frenzy and, depending on the restaurant you choose, the staff, including busboys, will join your party in singing "Happy Birthday" along with a song playing in the background. Whether it's "Happy Birthday" in a local Indian dialect, you might want to ask. For a party larger than 10, it's best to reserve space. Since most restaurants do not serve traditional desserts, bring your own cake from Veniero's, an East Village staple since 1894.

   Extravagant

   • For an elegant night you'll never forget, consider renting a loft in one of New York City's trendiest neighborhoods for your birthday bash. Loft 11, one of many special-event party rental outfits, offers Penthouse 15, a space with east and west views of the city and rooftop access. Entertain up to 250 guests for a stand-up reception. In the West 30s, known as the Hudson Yards District, hold your party at a duplex penthouse loft with wraparound roof access. Floor-to-ceiling windows, a glass-enclosed room and views of the Hudson River and Empire State Building will awe your guests. The space can hold up to 300 guests, or as few as 25 if you rent a portion of the house.

   Fun

   • You don't have to live in the suburbs to have a bowling party. Bowlmor Lanes near Union Square is the perfect birthday party venue. It offers a DJ, catering and full-bar access. Choose one of three packages. They include two hours of unlimited bowling, shoe rentals, pizza, sandwich or appetizer selections, and alcohol or soft drink choices. Bowlmor is popular with New Yorkers who like glow-in-the-dark bowling, great music, big-screen video walls and lane-side food and drink service. Bowlmor even has packages for kids' parties that include food, snacks, invitations and party favors. And what's a birthday party without a cake? Tribeca Treats has been featured in "People," "Star" and "US Weekly" magazines. Cakes are made to order and can be customized in a dozen or so flavors like plain old vanilla and chocolate or specialty flavors like black velvet or banana.
