Planning NYC upper east side 21rst B-day party

[Rubeskies]

As the title says, I'm planning a 21rst B-day party on a Friday and I want to stay around the upper east side because that is where the apartments are where all in attendence will crash and no drunken cab/subway has been the way to go in my experience.

Everyone going will be over 21 and we're looking for more cool bars/beer pong tables good atmospheme than club/lounge type things but any input on anything you guys can give would be appreciated, thanks. Also, we're going this Friday so live music would also be cool if anyone knows anything.

And if you think staying in the upper east side is a big mistake, feel free to tell me that as well.
