The best Midtown birthday restaurants

Can’t make it to Santorini or Mykonos to celebrate your birthday? Not a problem. Limani brings the coast of Greece to Manhattan with its fresh seafood-focused menu.

High ceilings, dramatic white marble, and blue décor transport guests to the coast of Greece despite being steps away from Rockefeller Center. You have no shortage of dining choices, with a range of Greek staples from spanakopita to swordfish to lamb chops.

The menu speaks for itself, but if that’s not convincing enough, Limani’s infinity pool turns from bright blue to violet adding just an extra touch, and making it a strong contender for a birthday celebration in Midtown.

Regardless of your political outlook, dining in the footsteps of a president is a good indicator that you’ve found a boujie birthday restaurant. Boasting a clientele of Obama and Clinton, Upland brings together foodies and political fanatics in a marriage of expensive eats.

Upland’s warm and inviting atmosphere sets the tone for celebration. The menu blends California with Tuscany, and while spending over $50 on an entrée alone may sound absurd (I’m looking at you, crackling porcelet), the mouth-watering meal is well worth the splurge.

Upland seeks to provide a relaxing and joyful meal, and after a birthday dinner with loved ones in this atmosphere, you’ll leave feeling nothing but that: relaxed and joyful.

If you and all your friends struggle to walk the fine line of work-life balance, look no further.
