Trends on Tuesday - Hottest spots for Bachelor parties

by Stacy Kravitz

10. Cabo San Lucas, Mexico Known for Marlin fishing, beer drinking, and watching women.

9. Scottsdale, Arizona Known for GOLF, a great place to head if you want to sample sun awesome sun and fresh air. The steak restaurants and beer are plentiful and the clubs are the hot spot at night.

8. Whistler, British Columbia (Canada) Head to Whistler for skiing, mountain biking, hiking and nature watching. There are good bars and cigars and partaking in a certain natural herb is legal, when done conspicuously. Downside? It can be a pricey place to go, especially in mid-winter.

7. New York City Steaks. Food. Clubs. Bars. I can’t think of anything that DOESN’T happen in NYC. Greasy, oily pizza at 3:30am, after a wild night of drinking and dancing? Oh yeah!! If you are into the urban scene, this is the place to have a bachelor party. Hotel rates can be steep, so consider doubling up and sharing rooms.

6. New Orleans Mardi. Gras. Bars. Sensational food. Rum. Post-Hurricane Katrina, hotel rates are still low and the city is not crowded. Businesses that are open greatly appreciate your business. But please, perhaps don’t your smelly stinking clothes home to your soon-to-be wife. Consider brining a trash bag to wrap them in, INSIDE your suitcase. This is also a great locale if you are into touring weather ravaged areas. And, if you are the good-Samaritan type, consider working with a group like Habitat for Humanity or any of the number of rebuilding organizations in coastal Louisiana right now.

5. Vancouver, British Columbia Good nightlife, clubs and women. But, it is Canada. Don’t forget your passport. Also, there are a lot of pick pockets in this city. When drinking, be aware of your wallet.

4. Chicago, Illinois Museums. Wrigley Field. This was Frank Sinatra’s city. The Mafia? You won’t have to look far for a Gentleman’s Club.

3. South Beach, Florida Beach. Sun. Nightclubs. Women in bikinis driving convertibles.

2. Montreal, Quebec (Canada) Trendy bars and clubs. If you are planning a trip here, be sure to visit, Montreal VIP - the website.

1. Las Vegas, Nevada Does this one really need any hype? What happens in Vegas ….

    Great list! I’m a big fan of the site and finally decided to say hello!! I am getting married in a year and your posts are helpful and keeps things in perspective for me. It’s nice to know I am not the only one out there doing this!! :-)

    ps… Hi!

  2. Laura Says:

    Interesting list Stacy! I’m actually from Vancouver BC so I just thought I’d pipe up for a second. Not sure where the reputation got out that there are lots of pickpockets in this city! I’ve lived here my whole life and never had a problem with that, I was far more nervous about pickpockets when I was travelling in Europe a few years ago. Obviously you should mind your belongings at all times, but that’s just common sense.

    Also I just wanted to note that the “certain natural herb” mentioned in #8 (Whistler) is not actually legal here, although we have much more lax regulations about it than the USA. But I wouldn’t recommend offering a cop a drag off your joint.

  3. Stacy Ochsman Says:

    Reader Laura has informed me that she lives in Vancouver and is not aware that her city is known for pickpockets. So, I want to add the disclaimer that this is something I heard once, years ago, on a bus ride from the airport to Whistler. Please do not let this change your view of Vancouver. Reader Laura likes her city … you should too!

    My apologies, sincerely, to anyone I may have offended. Unless of course, you are a pickpocket and just generally offended that you have been “found out”.

  4. Stacy Ochsman Says:

    And! Before you offer your joint to anyone, ask to see some ID. If they flash you a cop’s badge, run like hell, and once again, please do not implicate me in any of your wild ongoings.
