Tips To Make Your New York City Bachelor Party Successful
Take Limos - If you're planning on hitting a couple different spots, and you've got six or seven guys, it is not only more fun but also cheaper to book a limousine rather than taking cabs.
Leave the cameras at home - while you know nothing bad happened, that picture of the groom's face in a stripper's cleavage may make the bride think otherwise.
Decide on a budget for yourself before you go out - otherwise you may end up gambling away your life savings, or giving it all to a beautiful dancer. New York has a way of convincing you that you don't really need your money.
No matter what a stripper tells you, your money matters far more to her than how special you are. That's okay, she's just earning a living, but don't be the fool. If Las Vegas is too far to go, you might also consider having a weekend of decadence closer to New York.
Book a limousine service in New York. There won't be the legalized gambling, but bill it as a Hollywood weekend where the groom is the star, and be sure to have plenty of champagne, spa treatments, dinner at fine restaurants, flirting with pretty girls, and limousine space.
Co-ed Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties
The groom's not looking to do anything he wouldn’t do in front of his girlfriend, the bride's got some good looking friends, and you're hoping the maid of honor will help you with the planning. Whether it's just a blowout house party, or an evening of debauchery, a coed bachelor party can be a great solution. This is also a great solution for the increasing number of couples who don't have a bridal party and thus must either forgo the rite of passage, or have to plan it themselves.
Whatever you decide to do, make sure the groom is front and center in your planning. While you want everyone to have a good time, he's the one who really matters. If he's a low-key kind of guy, maybe a night of drinking and puking is not the best idea. Also, keep in mind that there's no reason you can't do a combination of these bachelor party ideas – perhaps a golf tournament during the day, followed by a steak and cigar party that evening. Pick a few different activities and keep everyone happy.
Queens is a crescent-shaped borough traversing the width of Long Island and including two of the major New York City area airports, LaGuardia (LGA) and John F. Kennedy International (JFK). It also carries the largest ethnic diversity in its area of any region in the world, divided into small enclaves. Jackson Heights, for example, includes a huge Indian area, followed by a Colombian area, and then a Mexican area. Each offers a wide array of authentic shops, native-style cuisine, and festivals modified only slightly by the generally colder New York City experience.
The geographical center of New York City is actually in Queens. Near this location, investors held the 1939 and 1964 World's Fairs. The area still includes an interesting museum and some architectural and artistic relics of the events (including the Unisphere, a 300 ton spherical grid of steel sculpted to look like the globe - as seen in Men In Black). The area is now called Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. The northern end includes Shea Stadium and the U.S. Tennis Open stadium; further north still one can walk along the edge of a marina in Long Island Sound. The park also includes a science museum, a zoo, pedal-boats, and frequent special events.
For information on how to walk or bicycle to and from Queens, check http://www.transalt.org/. Except for the Whitestone and Throgs Neck bridges, all the bridges can be crossed by pedestrians and bicycles. Be prepared, however, for long walks - and don't forget that Queens is very, very big and not well-designed for a walking tour. Do not attempt this without a map!
Sadly, most Queens visitors spend their visit on a bus to or from LaGuardia Airport or JFK. A proper tour of Queens is worthwhile. It can be conducted by a chauffeur-driven limousine service, as the roads can be tough to navigate. Much of Queens (but unlike Manhattan, not all of it), including many of the most interesting parts, can be seen by subway. A trip on the 7 train, made nationally famous by the contempt of former Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker, is a cultural experience in and of itself. The 7 runs elevated through most of Queens, so you'll be able to get a good sense of much of the borough through its windows. A good tour of Queens should include at least three meals in three different ethnic enclaves.
Other subways for getting around (and in and out of) Queens include the A, E, F, G, M, N, R, V & W. The Long Island Rail Road makes several stops in Queens: the main line runs through central Queens and the Port Washington line runs along the north shore (including a stop in Flushing).
