This coming May, Mexicans and Americans alike will be ready to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in NYC as the date approaches in full speed amidst the beautiful weather. True, the ever-persistent showers in April may have put a slight dampening on your spirits, but get ready to immerse yourself in mouth-watering Mexican cuisine like tacos and margaritas as you partake in the plethora of Cinco de Mayo festivities. Before we dive into the various lounges best suited for the celebration, let’s take a look at why Cinco de Mayo is being celebrated here in the USA.

What is Cinco de Mayo?

For one, it is important to note that Cinco de Mayo isn’t Mexico’s Independence Day. Rather, it is the celebration held on 5 May to commemorate the Mexican Army’s astounding victory over the French forces at the Battle of Puebla back in 1862 on the very same day.

Despite the commemoration taking its form as military parades and ceremonies in Mexico, the date has evolved in the United States and is now synonymous with the celebration of Mexican-American culture. Here in NYC, it is ever more pertinent from the diverse synergy between cultures resulting in some really great celebrations across the city. Without further ado, here are some great venues for you to throw your celebrations during Cinco de Mayo in NYC!

DL Lounge

DL Lounge , located in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, has one of the most beautiful environments around, along with a versatile array of spaces. Head to the DL Lounge after work with your co-workers and be impressed with the grand atmosphere presented.

With three different areas – The Red Room, Dinner on Ludlow and Roof Deck – you’ll be spoiled for choice here at the DL Lounge on Cinco de Mayo. It is reminded that the venue requires patrons to be in smart casuals to reflect the classy environment, so do refrain from dressing in athletic or baggy clothes.

Abe booked my last two birthdays efficiently and on budget. Reached out to me mid-week this week as I was scrambling for a Saturday reservation, and handled everything within a couple of hours. Great communication, access to best bars, and follow-ups. I highly recommend this service (signed up for yelp to do so) and look forward to booking my next party, hopefully sooner than a year from now.

Birthday Bottle Service is amazing! I found them online and it did sound too good to be true but the ratings were excellent. Abe and Cristina were very quick to respond to my email request and very accommodating. I was doing a joint birthday party with a friend and we ended up selecting the Gansevoort Park Avenue with the buy one get one free deal. Once we got there, we only had to wait for several minutes before our party was escorted to our area of the bar. We ended up having more people than intended show up (about 22 showed up when we planned on 15) but no one had a problem at all getting in when using our names at the door, even the people who arrived late. The venue itself is great! It has a bunch rooms with different music styles as well as an outdoor pool area. Overall, this is a great service and I will definitely be using this again! Thanks Abe and Cristina!

Birthday Bottle Service was a success! I wanted to plan a special birthday celebration for my boyfriend. I simply Googled "birthdays in NYC" and Birthday Bottle Service came right up. I contacted them and Christina responded within minutes. I was able to choose my venue from an extensive list. We chose Gansevoort. As the guest list grew, we asked Christina for 2 tables next to each other at the Gansevoort. Both had the buy 1 + get 1 free bottle special. Christina and Abe confirmed our party the day of and even provided us with a Customer Service number - God forbid anything went wrong the night of the party. Luckily we did not need to use it! We arrived in the VIP line and was seated right away. In fact they moved a party, cleaned up the tables, so they could accommodate us all with 2 adjoining tables within minutes. 4 bottles came out right away and our waitress was great and helpful when we requested different mixers. Everyone had a wonderful time! I will definitely contact Christina and Abe again for another event. I'm excited to try different venues with the help of their amazing party planning!!

I made the mistake of asking my husband what he wanted to do for his birthday. I expected him to say he wanted to go for a nice dinner but instead he busted out "I wanna get a table somewhere and pay for all my friends to drink." Well shit! (only kidding!) We don't go to many clubs these days so I didn't know where we should go and I really didn't want to pay for 10 other people to get drunk. Thanks to to my mastery of the google machine I typed in "NYC birthday" and Birthday Bottle Service popped right up! I clicked on their website and was immediately awestruck- FREE BOTTLES- what?!? This can't be true. Nothing in NYC is free, ESPECIALLY alcohol. I emailed them and quickly got a response from Abe & Cristina. They set up my party at the Gansevoort and reconfirmed the day of. My table was waiting for me when we got there and I really did get 2 bottles of booze for the price of one bottle of booze (+ $50 tip for the free bottle) My husband got to celebrate and spoil all his friends and we looked like ballers, so it was a win-win-win. I highly recommend booking a party through Birthday Bottle Service and I will heed my own advice and use them again.

I received confirmation in a timely manner. It was the easiest party planning that I have gone through. Thanks again birthday bottle service. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to my friends.
