Birthdays are special days, marking the anniversary of your birth and all of your milestones from one year to the next. They're also a day filled with gifts and celebration. While you may expect a few gifts from your nearest and dearest, you may not realize that there are restaurants across the city of New York that are eager to present you with a few of their own. These are just a few of the restaurants where you can get a free meal or menu item on your birthday, just for celebrating another year of life.
