Webster Hall, the infamous four floor NYC mega-venue, continuously throws one of the most popular post-prom parties year after year. It usually sells out quick. It's a good bet for teens in the Tri-State area, as the venue is easily accessible by mass transit - making in convenient, and safer than driving. There are numerous lounges, plenty of space to dance, and pulsating beats. Guest DJ's include Cipha Sounds and DJ Precise. VIP sections and tickets are available for groups.

To extend the partying for the entire weekend, the Hamptons can be a fun - albeit pricey - option. Perhaps it's more comforting to know that your kids are spending the weekend in a house, and not a New York City nightclub, even if it's a little tougher on your wallet. The beach house offer prime opportunity to for beach-going and barbecuing after the night is over.

A favorite for many Tri-State students is the Jersey Shore. Towns like Seaside, N.J. provide affordable weekend accommodations (even if they're not exactly "four star").  Hang out at the beach, grab a cheese steak at Steaks Unlimited, and stroll the infamous Seaside Boardwalk. Who knows, maybe there will even be a Snooki sighting.
