10 NYC Bachelorette Party Ideas That Are Actually Worthwhile

Here's where to bring the bride to be in New York City that's actually worth it.

There’s no better way to celebrate a bride-to-be than in the greatest city in the world…New York! If you’re planning out an itinerary in the city to celebrate, there’s so many great options that are perfect for a bachelorette group. From chic rooftop bars to high energy dance floors , there’s endless possibilities to create the perfect send-off! Here’s our list of best bachelorette party ideas in NYC …that aren’t tourist traps or a waste of time and money.

1. Night out at House of Yes

Nights on the town are an essential part of bachelorette parties, and NYC is no short of options. Our number recommendation for aa group is to head to House of Yes , a legendary venue and club in Brooklyn that showcases some of the best dance, circus, theater, and cabaret performances in the city. The former ice warehouse gets turned into a full experience , and throws some of the most over-the-top and fun theme parties in NYC. Depending on the night, you can get anything from “House of Grooves” a fun dance party with local DJ Eli Escobar to “Dirty Circus” a sexy cabaret show full of exotic dancers.

Of course if cabaret and circus isn’t your thing, opt for one of NYC’s other great nightclubs like the sky-high Somewhere Nowhere and the West Side’s rooftop club Le Bain .

2. Laugh at the Comedy Cellar

Get the girlies ready for a night of laughs at Comedy Cellar , one of NYC’s (and the world’s) most iconic comedy clubs . They welcome some of the best local and national talent onto their stage, so you never know what surprise you might get! Be aware that they can only accommodate parties of up to 8 at one time , and there typically are drink requirements per person during the show . Sit by the front and mention it’s bachelorette party and you may get some jokes thrown your way, or hang in the back and let the night unfold.

3. Create your own lipstick at Lip Lab

Looking for a hands-on experience that will entertain everyone in the group? Head to Lip Lab in SoHo , where you can book your own custom lipstick making experience ! The bride-to-be can create her own custom shade (that she even may wear on wedding day) and the rest of the crew can enjoy whipping up their own shade with the help of their Color Experts. A custom lipstick session costs $65 per person and makes it easy for everyone to pay for their own custom creation! Learn more about the experience here .

4. Float through NYC on a hot tub boat tour

Ring in the occasion with one of the best ways to explore NYC on water…a hot tub boat ?! Yes, the bachelorette and the whole party can reserve a 90 minute hot tub boat tour that cruises around NYC for an unforgettable experience. You’ll be able to get up close to Lady Liberty, view the stunning skyline from afar, and of course splash around in a relaxing hot tub . It’s perfect for planning since it comes with a wonderful crew, complimentary coolers, ice, water, and cups, dedicated Bluetooth speakers, a private bathroom and separate changing room, and more . Our recommendation is through Sea the City , which you can book here .

5. Dinner on a rooftop at Serra by Birreria

Every bachelorette party always has one main dinner, and why not have it at one of NYC’s most beautiful rooftop restaurants ?! SERRA by Birreria sits atop Eataly in Flatiron , and the elevated dining experience can offer you and your group a lovely Italian meal that you’ll never forget. The seasonal decor is gorgeous and perfect for photo opps, and the elevated Italian cuisine, house brewed ales and signature cocktails make it the perfect place for the girls. See their full menu and inquire about group dining here .

6. Drinks at PHD Rooftop Bar

Rooftop bar hop to the bachelorette’s content with so many sky-high options to sip cocktails and celebrate. PHD Rooftop is just one of them we particularly love, thanks to their seasonal floral installations and Empire State Building views , but there’s so many to choose from. Some other notable ones to consider are Magic Hour Rooftop in Midtown, Westlight if you’re partying in Brooklyn, or 230 Fifth Rooftop in Flatiron. Check out our list of best rooftop bars in NYC here .

7. Pampering session at QC Spa

Pamper the bride-to-be along with the whole party at QC Spa , whose location on Governors Island can also be the perfect day trip! The spa is one of our absolute favorites in the city, and includes o ver 20 wellness spa experiences including panoramic spa pools, massages, steam rooms, and so much more . You can hop on a 5-minute ferry ride from downtown Manhattan (making it easy if your hotel is in the area) and book day passes easily. Learn more about QC Spa here !

8. Tacos on a boat at La Barca Cantina

Nothing beats taco and a boat, and La Barca Cantina can be the perfect option for you bachelorette party from a food perspective. The floating Mexican restaurant is seasonally open right now, and accepting groups of 15+ with advanced notice as well as smaller groups with reservations! The fiesta is perfect for any mezcal or tequila-loving bachelorette and the food and views of NYC are absolutely chef’s kiss. Learn more about La Barca Cantina and how to book your spot here .

9. Lunch at Tavern on the Green & Walk through Central Park

You can’t check out NYC without having a stroll through Central Park , and we recommend bringing the bachelorette to one of NYC’s prettiest spots, Tavern on the Green . It’s the perfect place to grab lunch during one of your days, having a lovely meal in either the picturesque courtyard or the cozy indoor dining room. You can even parlay it into row boats afterwards or a visit to Bow Bridge . See Tavern on the Green’s full menu and plan a group visit here .

10. See Moulin Rouge! on Broadway

Moulin Rouge is just one of the many incredible Broadway shows currently running right now, and seeing a show is a bucket list item!

When you plan a regular bachelorette party, you have to coordinate transportation for everyone, ensuring that all of the guests stay safe while getting around town from one place to the next.

However, when you opt to plan a bachelorette party cruise, instead, everyone can stay on the boat throughout the evening, safely enjoying the festivities in one location. It can be a significantly safer option for you and your friends, as then you can arrange transport to and from the boat at the beginning and end of the party, then relax and enjoy your entire evening aboard the cruise boat.

BACHELOR/BACHELORETTE PARTY CRUISE

Nyc booze cruise, bachelorette/bachelor party cruise.

Planning for a bachelor or bachelorette party can be very stressful. Every host wants to make sure that they are throwing the best party possible, making it a night to remember for all of your friends! Luckily, we are here to help you plan a bachelorette and bachelor party. We want to take as much of the stress off of your hands as we possibly can. You can opt for a boat rental for the evening and host a unique party that everyone is sure to enjoy, with a minimal amount of work and stress.

Different from a regular bachelorette party, you won't have to coordinate transportation for everyone. Having to plan transportation and make sure that everyone is getting around safely can quickly become quite the endeavor, adding a great deal of stress and increasing costs to your party planning. On the other hand, when you choose to plan a bachelorette party cruise, instead, everyone can stay on the boat throughout the evening, safely enjoying the festivities in one location. Choosing a cruise vs. a traditional party can be a significantly safer option for you and your friends! All you have to do is arrange transportation to and from the boat before you head out; that way, you can enjoy your time while safely being taken around on the cruise!

Are you looking for fun, unique and memorable ideas for bachelorette parties in NYC?

Are you looking for epic bachelorette parties in NYC? Keep reading, because this ultimate list of bachelorette party ideas in NYC is going to give you all the inspiration you need!

Bachelorette parties in NYC are known for being amazing. It’s the city of ‘Friends’ and ‘Sex and the City’ – so who wouldn’t want to get away to the big city and have their bachelorette party in NYC?

There are so many things to do in NYC for bachelorette parties, and you’ll find some of the best bachelorette party ideas in NYC in this list!

I thought I’d put together a list of my favourite bachelorette party ideas in NYC – to get you started!

Bachelorette parties NYC #1 – Take a carriage ride in Central Park

My first ideas for great activities for bachelorette parties in NYC, is a carriage ride in NYC.

You know what we’re talking about, you’ve seen the Sex and the City episode where Big takes Carrie on a carriage ride around the park!

The great thing about taking a carriage ride around the park, is that you don’t pay per person, you pay per carriage. This makes it a great option for bachelorette party ideas in NYC, and an affordable one too.

This makes it a great activity for groups of 3-4, as the more of you in the carriage, the cheaper it is! I recommend booking your horse and carriage ride online in advance too – so that you don’t get taken advantage of or charged too much.

You can book a premium carriage ride for your bachelorette parties in NYC by clicking here .

Bachelorette parties NYC #2 – Have cocktails in the Skylark Bar

How could I write a list of bachelorette party ideas in NYC, without including an amazing cocktail bar?

Skylark is my favourite bar in NYC, it has the MOST amazing views of the city, and the Empire State, and it has such a fun vibe and such a great atmosphere. Bachelorette parties in NYC wouldn’t be complete without some rooftop cocktails!

The cocktails are fab, the music is great… and there’s even a balcony for taking the perfect group selfie with the Empire State in the background.

This is why this makes my list of the best ideas for bachelorette parties in NYC. I’d recommend booking a table ahead (as it can get pretty busy on Thursdays / Fridays / Saturdays).

Bachlorette parties NYC #3 – Do an NYC food tour

If you love food and eating out, then this next idea should definitely make your list of bachelorette parties in NYC.

If you want to try some of the local food (NYC is known for amazing food after all!) then doing a food tour together is such a fun idea. Food tours are guided tours around the city, where you’ll get to stop in at various restaurants / cafes / vendors.

Your host will have the specialities pre-prepared and the restaurant will know you’re coming, so usually, you can jump the line too! You’ll get to try lots of the best neighbourhood dishes and try all the best bits in one day!

It’s a great choice for bachelorette party ideas in NYC, especially for brides who love food! This is one of the best bachelorette parties in NYC because it’s delicious, easy to book and pleases everyone!

I recommend the  3 hour manhattan food tour , or this 2 hour cupcake food tour of Greenwich Village ! Both would be amazing options for a bachelorette party in NYC!

Bachlorette parties NYC #4 – Take a TV / movie locations tour together

You’ve all seen all the movies and TV shows set in NYC, and taking a tour of the city around all the main filming locations is a really fun way to spend a few hours in the city.

For this choice for bachelorette parties in NYC, you can pose for photos in all your favourite movie locations, and even snap some instagram stories!

I recommend booking this TV and movie tour as it includes a walking tour of NYC, and you’ll also get to go behind the scenes at one of America’s most iconic TV studios too!

This is such a fun addition to my list of  bachelorette party ideas in NYC.

Bachlorette parties NYC #5 – Watch a Broadway musical

Next on my list of epic bachelorette parties in NYC – watch a Broadway musical!

There are soooo many amazing Broadway musicals you can watch in NYC, and watching a musical together makes a perfect bachelorette party idea in NYC!

A perfect night would be watching a musical, then heading for a meal and cocktails afterwards, talk about a perfect choice for bachelorette parties in NYC!

I couldn’t choose a favourite musical – there are so many I’ve seen and absolutely loved! If I had to choose though, for a bachelorette party my favourite picks would be….

Frozen the Musical  (based on the hit Disney movie, this is upbeat and a perfect sing-a-long)

Aladdin the Musical  (based on the Disney movie, this is a nostalgic, funny and colourful)

Mean Girls  (you’ve seen the comedy chic-flick with Lindsey Lohan, this is the on-stage musical version)

The Lion King on Broadway  (this is the classic, iconic Disney musical. A Broadway must-see)

Moulin Rouge!   (quite a new addition to Broadway, based off the movie of the same name)

Wicked the Musical   (Another Broadway classic, Wicked is the story of the witches of Oz)

Bachelorette parties in NYC #6 – The RIDE

The RIDE is one of the most unique tours of NYC, so it makes a perfect choice for bachelorette parties in NYC.

The RIDE is equal parts theatre, as it is a city tour. You’ll tour NYC in a huge bus, and you’ll sit sideways looking out onto the streets through a huge window.

From the window, you’ll see the best city sights, but you’ll also see performers, street-shows and more! You can book tickets by clicking here .

If you want something a bit quirky and different this is the bachelorette party ideas in NYC for you! It’s a cute ideas for bachelorette parties in NYC, and you’ll learn a few things along the way too.

Bachlorette parties NYC #7 – Take a sightseeing cruise

Next on my list of ideas for bachelorette parties in NYC, it’s sightseeing cruises!

A sightseeing cruise of NYC ticks all the boxes for a memorable bachelorette party in NYC!

You get to see the city, relax, catch-up, take loads of amazing photos together… It’s perfect! Sightseeing cruises are also a pretty affordable option for bachelorette parties in NYC, especially considering how many memories you’ll make onboard!

During the daytime, I recommend booking a classic sightseeing cruise , or if you want to take an evening boat cruise, then this sunset harbour lights cruise is an amazing choice.

Bachelorette parties in NYC #8 – Color Factory

Bachelorette party idea #10 – Go shopping in Macy’s

NYC Bachelorette Party Ideas

Nyc bachelorette activities & itinerary, places to stay in nyc for a bachelorette party, nyc bachelorette party nightlife, expert nyc travel tips.

What isn't there to do in NYC? When it comes to a perfect bachelorette party itinerary, you can theme a New York bachelorette party 100 different ways, for the foodies, for the shoppers, for the theater and arts lovers, and so, so much more. Just don't forget to stock up on top notch gear from The Knot Shop to match your bach party theme .

For the Foodie

It's no question that New York City is one of the food capitals of the world, from the country's first pizza pie to new-age creations (remember the cronut, anyone?) you can find it all here. If you want to be sure to digest it all, consider a food lover's tour or Manhattan.

For the Theater Geek

What better place to catch a show than in the home of Broadway. Book tickets in advance to one of the greats on Broadway, buy last minute seats at the TKTS Booth in Times Square, or consider an equally thrilling off-Broadway production. Then there are the shows that aren't on the big stage, including cabarets, drag brunches, and comedy clubs.

For the TV & Movie Buffs

Of course, Manhattan is also home to some of the top filming locations for your favorite shows and movies. Consider a tour of the greatest hits, including Sex and the City , When Harry Met Sally and Seinfeld , or Gossip Girl .

For Shopaholics and Art Lovers

Of course, it's well known that New York City has great taste across the board. Spend a day (or two) shopping its top-notch stores and boutiques with your best girls. And for all things beautiful, make sure to stop in at the city's world-class museums, including The Met, The Museum of Modern Art, and the Guggenheim.

With the world at your feet, it may be hard to narrow down an NYC bachelorette party itinerary to just a few activities and a few days. But we've got you covered: Here's the ultimate three-day NYC bachelorette party itinerary:

Morning: After checking into your hotel or Airbnb, start the day with a classic girl's spot in the city: Alice's Tea Cup . The two locations are very popular so make a reservation (or book a private event) in advance, if you can. Here you can have the ultimate girl's brunch of scones, crepes, French toast, and more—all paired with a great tea service.

Afternoon: Get ready for the weekend with a bit of early party pampering. At ChillHouse , you and your crew can get matching nail art—and a whole bunch of other day-spa treatments—with a cafe menu, wine, and beer to choose from. Keep the beauty party going with a visit to Lip Lab , where you can make your own shades of lipstick or gloss. Of course, now that you're dolled up and ready, consider booking a photographer through Flytographer to capture shots of you and your bride squad in some of NYC's most iconic spots, from Times Square to Central Park.

Evening: Start off with a wine tasting at City Winery , where you can also catch some live music on the right night. Then head off to dinner at Beauty and Essex , a lounge-like spot with great and inventive shared plates, and a nightclub on the second level. Keep the party going after dinner at The Magic Hour Rooftop & Lounge , a great spot with indoor/outdoor space and epic Manhattan Views.

Morning: Start with a must-experience brunch at Anejo in Hell's Kitchen. This is an affordable boozy brunch with bottomless margaritas and tasty Mexican small plates to share.

Afternoon: The day's options are plentiful, so pick your poison based on your bride's personality: Foodies can head over to the Milk Bar , the famous dessert shop, to build their own custom cakes (we won't judge if you don't wind up saving it for later). Art-lovers can take a private gallery tour where you get just the highlights of the city's most amazing art collections. Or if you're looking for a little R&R, head to SoHO's Haven Spa for a day of pampering and relaxation (plus the great shopping nearby). Evening: Tonight, dinner comes with a show. At Lips , you'll be treated to three courses, drinks, and an epic, renowned drag show (for a little extra, the bride can be pulled on stage). After the show, head to PHD Rooftop Lounge or another bar with views, or dance the night away at the House of Yes or the Electric Room .

Morning: For your last brunch in the big city, head to Chef Marcus Samuelsson's restaurant, Red Rooster Harlem , for comfort food and their gospel brunch.

Afternoon: Another day, another plethora of options: For the rare outdoor adventure, keep charter a boat from Sailo and make your way around the city by water, with great views of Lady Liberty along the way. For thrill-seekers, consider a Trapeze School class. Or, catch a Broadway matinee (tickets are cheaper for these showtimes). You can also just take the day to unwind and wander your way through Central Park.

Evening: Start with dinner at Catch , a rooftop seafood spot where you can dine on ceviche, tartare, and sushi in a scenic (and made to be seen) setting. Then treat yourselves to another delicious dessert—this one with boozy pairings. At Butter & Scotch sweet offerings like chocolate cake and key lime pie are paired with inspiring cocktails—or go all in with a boozy milkshake. End the night with drinks at Paul's Cocktail Lounge in the Roxy Hotel.

NYC Bachelorette Scavenger Hunt

Looking to make your activities even more fun? Turn your weekend itinerary into a NYC scavenger hunt. Distribute a list of activities with points awarded for each completed task and ask participants to provide proof with pictures. Download an editable template to customize the list and include NYC-themed to-dos. Don't forget to give the winner a prize such as a classic New York City souvenir.

New York is extremely easy to get around between walking, taxis, and the Subway, so it really makes no difference what part of the city you stay in. Choose the hotel or AirBnB that suits your group best.

If you're coming from the West Coast to New York, there are many airlines to choose from and quite a few with nonstop flights that will bring you from LA to New York you can fly Spirit, JetBlue, American, and many others. If you're coming from other areas of New York, like Western New York or the Hudson Valley, the Amtrak train is a great option. You can buy an Amtrak ticket, which is usually quite reasonably priced, that will bring you into Penn Station. You can use Uber while in the city, but if the weather is nice, I highly recommend walking or trying your hand at the subway system. Even if you're unfamiliar with the subway system, you can use Google Maps to navigate the trains. It's a much cheaper option and it's faster.

What to do for a Bachelorette Party in NYC During the Day

Short on Time? ⏰ Then book this VIP Helicopter Tour for the bride-to-be. It’s an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience that she’ll never forget 😀

1. Admire the Views from the Top of the Empire State Building

⭐️ Rating: 4.6/5.0 (180 Reviews) Price: $107 per person Duration: 45 minutes+ 📍 Meeting Point: Empire State Building Operator: The Ultimate Italy Details: Read more on Get Your Guide Now!

If you’re planning a bachelorette party in NYC and it’s your very first time in the Big Apple, then one of the best things to do is visit the Empire State Building .

Not only is this easily the single most famous building in the entire city but it’s home to New York’s highest open-air observatory – giving you ample time to take stunning photos with your favorite gal pals from the 86th floor.

FYI, there’s also an observatory on the 102nd floor but access is not included with this ticket. And that’s fine since floor-to-ceiling windows make the photo ops kind of meh.

However, the views from the top of the Empire State Building , or 1,454 feet in the air, can look dramatically different during the day and in the evening when the city dazzles with sparkling lights.

That’s why, you NEED this Empire State Building Morning and Night Entry ticket . This way you can visit the summit of this art-deco masterpiece once in the morning – since you can see six different states on a clear day – and once in the evening for the ultimate NYC experience.

“Highly recommend getting the dual ticket to see the views both in day and nighttime. Amazing experience for both and it started to snow as we went outside during the day which was quite magical! Plenty of space, not crowded and opportunities for photos.” Anonymous ( read more reviews now )

Plus, don’t forget that you’ll enjoy access to a brand-new Observatory Experience that features an insane 10,000 square feet of interactive exhibits.

This way you can learn all about the building’s history, construction, and immortal place in pop culture while you’re here enjoying the best bachelorette party NYC has to offer.

Local Tip: If the weather is crappy, do not go to the top (It’ll be super cloudy and you won’t be able to see anything) and ask them to exchange your tickets for a better day.

They also offer great VIP tours and luxury experiences where you can sip champagne in a private VIP room (like the celebs do) and enjoy a private group tour of this incredible building.

Just be sure to understand how to get along with your friends on vacation before you book this tour.

2. Enjoy a Glass of Champagne with a Skyline View

See, regardless of whether it’s your first time in NYC (or not), taking in a bird’s eye view from one of the city’s most famous skyscrapers is one of the most awesome NYC bachelorette party activities of them all.

Essentially, you have a choice of several major observation decks with the best views in NYC . But, for a bachelorette party, let’s narrow it down to the best of the best.

So, The Edge is one of the youngest towers on the block. Besides the indoor deck and sky deck, the skyscraper has a swanky champagne bar on Level 100.

Just buy your Edge Observation Deck admission tickets in advance and you can swizzle champagne with a view to your heart’s content.

Overall, the Edge wins for overall experience and vibe for a bachelorette. Just be aware that lines are SUPER long for this experience.

So, you’ll have to wait upwards of an hour just to get to the top, even if you book your tickets in advance. You’re also really just here for the views since there are no immersive exhibits.

Now, another option is SUMMIT One Vanderbilt . Plus, it’s the tallest building in Midtown and it features a fun innovative art installation too.

Plus, here you can sip craft cocktails at the Nordic-inspired Après. Therefore, SUMMIT One probably claims the top-prize for the best views in NYC but the bar at Edge is better.

However, if you want a backdrop of the Empire State Building for your bachelorette snaps, go to Top of the Rock .

Note, SixtyFive is open for private events only. Therefore, drop them a line if you’re looking for a luxurious twist to this bachelorette activity.

But, it’s also one of the most outrageous NYC bachelorette party activities. Especially, if you manage to keep the booking under wraps and surprise the bride-to-be on the day of your flight.

And while there are dozens of NYC helicopter tours to choose from, this private VIP New York City helicopter tour is one of the best if you’re looking for a bachelorette experience she’ll never forget.

Most importantly, it takes off from Manhattan. FYI, a lot of these tours depart from outside NYC, and that additional train trip can make things a little tricky. Plus, added stress isn’t what you need from your epic bachelorette weekend. Plus, this chopper accommodates 5 people.

You’ll also get picked up from your Manhattan hotel via swank SUV like the A-listers you are.

“Excellent activity. to take your breath away. Really very helpful staff. Very well organized. Unique experience. Really great” Trinidade ( read more reviews )

Which only makes sense once you’re there. Yup, it all sounds very Willy Wonka to me.

“Incredibly fun experience for all ages. Our guide made sure the tour was fun, educational, and, of course, delicious! As out of towners we learned about areas of the city we had yet to visit. The tour was suggested by a local New Yorker who found it equally as fun.” Anonymous ( read more reviews now )

Anyway, you’ll also get to build your own cupcake at Molly’s Cupcakes (my personal fave stop on the tour) and sample decadent delights from Baked by Melissa, Magnolia (the banana pudding is WAY better than the cupcakes IMHO), Roccos, and more.

Local Tip: After the cupcake tour wraps, grab a bite at Loring Place (epic pizza) and then go straight to the Comedy Cellar.

Because, this is the place to go for real NYC stand-up comedy, with big-name comics like Adam Sandler, Amy Schumer, and Chris Rock performing.

Plus, tickets are cheap. And, if you’re not going to laugh yourself to tears on a bachelorette party in NYC, when else can you?

One of the most atypical things to do while at a bachelorette party in NYC, Sleep No More is a super modern retelling of Macbeth. See, the production was created by the British theater company Punchdrunk.

Basically, these guys are the OG of immersive theater with no two audience members ever having the same experience.

So, told through a film-noir lens, Sleep No More sends you on a journey through six floors of the McKittrick Hotel. It’s totally non-verbal, exploring human relationships as much as reimagining the Shakespearian tragedy.

Additionally, you can buy standard admission or upgrade to include a table at the speakeasy-style Manderley Bar with champagne.

However, regardless of the ticket you choose, you will get to cool your heels at this super rad bar – with vintage vibes, epic drinks, and killer live music – both before and after the show.

“See it if you want something avant garde and immersive. One of my favorite experiences ever.” Jenna ( read more reviews now)

And FYI, the McKittrick isn’t actually a hotel – it’s an event space. Therefore, you can also check out magic shows, themed soirees, and cinematic parties. Plus, up on the roof, you can dine and drink at the verdant Gallow Green which has a makeover to reflect the seasons.

Local Tip: This is a super quirky experience so make sure the bride-to-be is into that sort of thing. Also, bring a valid ID since they will be checked at the door.

Additionally, you won’t be able to take pictures since your phone will be placed in a locked bag and you must check your coat at the door.
