Unfortunately she does not want strippers or a full dinner. She is thinking more along the lines of drinks and appetizers and then heading out to a bar or club. Any suggestions for a place near Penn where you can get appetizers and good drinks?

how about going to a tapas restaurant. You might also want to check out stanton social.

Then after you can go to clubs or bars around the meat packing district, thats if you go to stanton social since its close by. Theres also a bunch of clubs between 10th and 11th ave and streets in the 20's. Marquee is good, but not sure if youre looking for a big club type atmosphere

theres also 230 5th, gansevoort, pink elephant, home

or you can go to 2nd ave in the 50's theres one bar after another if you prefer doing just bars. Theres also a bunch of bars in the 40's on 2nd ave

Since you said you aren't big beer drinkers, I'd say avoid Greenwich Village. I used to live down there when I went to NYU, and every bar around there is packed with college kids guzzling down beer - definitely not the scene for a bachelorette party!

i agree with avoid alot of bars in that area, st marks and all that...theres TONS of bars but theres usually not alot of dancing at many of them or not a great dancing place.

If you want more of a bar atmosphere but still some dancing then maybe places like sutton place, metro 53 and all the bars in that area will be good, although i always think with sutton place its hit or miss with the dancing. Not sure if you heard of joshua tree, but alot of ppl like that place, its in the 40's on 3rd avenue, and theres a bunch of other places nearby.

What type of music are you looking for? and what type of crowd? that will help with suggestions.

I also went to this club on 16th street between 9th and 10th avenue 2 weeks ago for a bachelorette party and we had a great time, the music was real good. its called highlander

Hawaiian tropic zone has a club now on the weekends and they have good people promoting it, people who did other big clubs in the city and it gets packed.


with the restaurant it sounds like a tapas place would be best, theres alot of tapas restaurants in the city, i think bobby flay has one too. Like i mentioned before stanton social you can get appetizers and you would probably have fun there, here is the site:

if you say what type of place you are looking for maybe i can suggest other places not mentioned here or what to avoid

Im not sure if this is your type of thing but...lucky chengs is always fun. Its an asian restaurant but all of the servers are darg queens and they are crazy!!! they put on shows while you eat and its alot of fun. also very popular for bach parties. I think i saw that you can even pre-order a penis cake

The Stanton Social place looks pretty cool! We have such an odd mix of girls its crazy! We have straight, gay, bi, girls who dont ever go out, girls who go out all the time (you get the idea) its so hard to find a place that everyone will feel comfortable. Im thinking in terms of what the bride wants, and she is more like a bar girl who likes to do a little bit of dancing. I could picture her at Metro 53 but since its her bach party, im thinking something a little bit more exciting.

I think Joshua Tree and Mercury Bar are a little bit too tame.[/QUOTE

i agree, i could do metro 53 but for a bachelorette i would want more, i always see bp there but i completely know what you are saying and feel the same way.

With a bar then it might be a bit hard, only bc many bars will stick to one type of style and you usually see just a certain crowd at certain bars.

I would go for a club. maybe not a huge club like pacha but a more mixed place, lots of different music and somewhere you girls can let loose more. Do you think she would like a place like Duvet? although thats considered a big club too hahaha

just remember wherever you go you dont have to stay and could go somewhere else, but i'd stick to places that have other places nearby

here are a few other names:

cielo
i loved providence but the promoter recently told me it wasnt great anymore, not sure if for that night but sounds like he meant from now on
marquee is really good

im trying to think of theres a club where its mixed with straight and bi/lesbian since you have a diverse group i need to think about this hahaha

HA HA I definitely threw you a curve ball huh?? I mean our crowd will most likely just suck it up and do whatever she wants to do anyway. Duvet i really wanted to do for mine LOL. Im sure we will probably start out somewhere and just end up bouncing around. Thanks for all your suggestions!!
