The best part of a grown-up birthday? Finally getting that night out you’ve been craving all year.
And local restaurants are great at sweetening the pot: When you dine in on your birthday, many will offer a dessert, drink or dish compliments of the kitchen. Some will write “happy birthday” in icing on your treat, while others will light a candle and sing. Either way, they’re sure to make you feel special.
Here’s just a small sampling of the many offerings around town.
