Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or just an evening on the town, New York City is the perfect setting for an unforgettable bachelorette party. From hot clubs and exotic male dancers to fine restaurants and the latest musicals, Manhattan has something to offer every personality and promises plenty of bridal party excitement.   

Getting Around

The best way to enjoy all that Manhattan has to offer is from the back of a stretch limo while enjoying a bottle of champagne.  The city is full of limo services, from traditional 6 passenger cars to luxurious stretch hummers that seat 20, and many offer packages for sightseeing, shopping, and nightclubs. 

What to Do 

New York City is one of the most popular bachelorette party destinations in the nation - it's no wonder this city never sleeps with so much to see and do!  There are several businesses that will plan your entire party, including the hotel, transportation, and dinner, or you can put together your own event depending on your group's desires.

• Sightseeing.  If you or other members of your bridal party have never visited the Big Apple, time to see the sights is a must.  Secure a limo for a day of shopping; visit the Statue of Liberty; or schedule a private tour, complete with champagne. 
• Culture.  More than 30 Broadway theaters, over a dozen concert halls, and an assortment of museums and art galleries make Manhattan an ideal destination for groups with an interest in the arts.  Your group could even visit a live taping of a favorite show or enjoy a few laughs at a premier comedy club.
• Traditional bachelorette fun.  New York City is also home to some of the best nightlife around.  Schedule a pub-crawl with your own personal limo.  If strippers are in your future, Manhattan has some of the best male revues on the east coast with plenty of party packages available for an unforgettable evening.
• Different.  Not every bride-to-be looks forward to indulging in a last night of fantasy, but she still wants to have a good time.  Revisit the days of big hair and legwarmers at the Awesome ‘80's Prom for a night of dancing you'll never forget; take a dinner cruise, visit a casino, or enjoy dinner and a show at one of the many dinner theaters.

Whether you and your girlfriends are in the mood for something mild, wild, or somewhere in between, a bachelorette party in Manhattan is the answer - the city that never sleeps is overflowing with ideas to make your party the most memorable ever.

09/09/2009 at 01:51 pm My bridesmaids and I are in the middle of planning my NYC bachelorette party now and I need some help!  I work in Manhattan, but I have no clue about where the hotspots are.  I'd like to start off at a nice place for some cocktails (or one if it's really expensive!) and appetizers and then a night of pub crawling with good music and reasonable drinks.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!
