So he did it! He finally found someone who wants to keep him. It's time to send your buddy off into marriage-town with one final hurrah. Go big or go home, right? These days bachelor parties are more than just sitting in a stripper bar, smoking cigars, and drinking over-priced drinks.
There are different bachelor parties for different guys. So, what type of guy is he? Is he a party boy, an action man, a geek, a foodie, or a road tripper? Let's take a look at the best ideas in and around New York City for the greatest bachelor party for any kind of man.
The Party Boy
He wants his last night as a single guy to be one to remember. Take him somewhere that he will never forget. Jay-Z's 40/40 club in Manhattan's flatiron district has been the place to be seen for over 16 years. Star-spotting, televised sports, and live music make this an excellent place for the groom-to-be. They even have special bachelor party packages just for the occasion.
How about a boat ride around the Hudson? Booze cruises make for great bachelor parties. The groom and his mates all getting drunk together away from dry land. There are plenty of options available for this, and it can be a lot of fun.
The Action Man
Make his final day as a single man a day of action and experience. Have you ever wanted to throw axes at a wall? Now you can! Kick Axe lets you do just that. Sit in an armchair, drink beer, and hurl an ax. It's kind of like darts, but with more danger.
Do you want to fight zombies? Virtual Reality lets you enter another dimension. Here are the two top suggestions. Either head to VR World in midtown, or for the ultimate zombie Lazer-tag fight, go to Indoor Extreme Sports on Long Island.
The Geek Boy
NYC is a haven for this kind of guy. Modern Pinball has over 250 pinball machines and original arcade games, and yes, they will let you book private or semi-private parties.
If comic books, anime, video games, and science fiction is his thing, then Action Burger in Williamsburg has all those covered. Burgers, fries, and shakes abound as he immerses himself into nerd-boy heaven.
For a truly unique experience, take him to the Spyscape: James Bond Exhibition. Real James Bond fans will get a behind-the-scenes look at all the cool cars and gadgets from the movies. They will also do private events if you want.
The Foodie
Pretty soon, it's going to be all supermarket runs and home cooking for this guy, so why not make his bachelor party one to remember with a food crawl in Queens. Some of the most traditional and authentic Asian and Latin American restaurants can be found in Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, and Flushing.
If he's a beer guy, check out Torst. Danish brewer Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø creates some unique tipples here. Champagne-infused beer, anyone? They also provide tasting plates of local delicacies.
The Road Tripper
So he wants to head out of NYC for his bachelor party. Two words - Atlantic City! Take the whole group on a casino trip to AC, but don't drive. Do it in style in a party coach. You can view online some awesome group ideas and make this a weekend he'll never forget.
Niagara Falls on the border between the USA and Canada is a 90-minute flight from NYC. There are loads of funky bars and strip clubs there to entertain him at night after you're done checking out the incredible scenery by day.
NYC Has it All
No matter what kind of guy he is, he wants his bachelor party to be legendary. Whether he wants to party hard, burn some adrenaline, get his geek on, or eat and drink his way out of singledom, New York City can provide it.
If he wants to take it out of town, Atlantic City or Niagara Falls are top choices. So what will it be? Make this the bachelor party to end them all.
