Go on a booze cruise
Particularly great for out-of-town partiers, a cruise around New York harbor provides epic views of the city skyline and if you do it right, a great buzz. Book a boat with an on-site bar (open, naturally) or find a company that’s cool with you bringing refreshments on board for an Insta-worthy party the groom is sure to remember—or destined to forget.

Go ahead: Have a steak dinner
It’s a classic for a reason! Local hot spots Peter Luger Steak House and Keens Steakhouse illustrate why the steak dinner has been a bachelor party staple for decades. The two restaurants have earned thousands of reviews for their hand-selected USDA Prime cuts, dry-aged on premises. Order the Luger Burger and “steak for one” at Peter Luger and the signature mutton chop at Keens to understand why basic is sometimes best.
