I am the best man for my brother%26#39;s wedding %26amp; am planning a bachelor party for early May. Besides the strip bar thing, does anyone have some advice for things to do? Something to keep in mind: my brother is an artist, has NO interest in sports. I was planning a nice steak dinner %26amp; drinks, but after that I am not sure what else to do. Thanks!
Bachelor party activities in the Big Apple?
Go to a museum in the afternoon, MoMA, Met, then go to dinner and then a low key bar afterwards. I personally find strip clubs depressing and I have heard the ones in New York are wickedly expensive.
Bachelor party activities in the Big Apple?
Does he like live music? perhaps a jazz club, or a cabaret performance, or a concert of some kind, or maybe a show?
For the steak dinner, Strip Club, Keen%26#39;s, BLT STeak.
Depending on how many of you there are, maybe hire a company to organize a scavenger hunt having to do with art? Here%26#39;s the link to a co. that does public ones but they also do private

If you want to add some fun to the night or two, consider these things:
Sammy%26#39;s Roumanian Steak House---on the lower east side.
Blue Man Group or Stomp, both shows that are very good, fun and all guys would like them.
Mangia e bevi--Italian Restaurant in Midtown that is supposed to have good food and a lively atmosphere. I read where there are always bachelorette parties there, so the guys should have a good time, too.
One of my favorite things to do is go way uptown on the west side and walk through St. John the Divine Church. It is massive, and even more impressive than St. Patricks. Columbia University is nearby and Riverside Church is close. I have taken people to St. Johns and they are amazed. It%26#39;s out of the way, but anyone I have taken there has been impressed.
A straight man who isn%26#39;t afraid to admit he doesn%26#39;t like sports and enjoys the arts?
Now this is refreshing...
Since you are from Poland and I%26#39;m presuming you%26#39;re Polish, you might think about spending an evening in Greenpoint Brooklyn which has a very, very large Polish community. The big Polish hangout is Club Europa at 98 Meserole Avenue right off of Manhattan Avenue. I have been to this club and on a few occasions and I guarantee you will find many Polish speaking people, Polish bands and music. Take the G train to Nassau Avenue and walk a few blocks up to Meserole Avenue. Check out their website; http://europaclub.com/
If you are feeling a bit homesick or want to talk Polish with some New Yorkers, there are many Polish restaurants, stores and St. Stanislaus Church ( where the services are in Polish) all in Greenpoint. The main commercial strip is Manhattan Avenue and the G train runs along the whole stretch. It might even be interesting for you to have a look just to see how the Polish community has recreated an enclave for themselves right here in Brooklyn.
I was even once in a restaurant on the town square in the reconstructed Old Town in Warsaw Poland with a friend and we had a debate with a waitress about the exact intersection of two streets in Greenpoint since she had only returned from her cousins house a few weeks previous. The place was recommended to my friend, ( who lives in Greenpoint ), by one of his Polish neighbors. The restaurant was below ground and is a bit of an historic site but the name escapes me. Do you know which one I%26#39;m talking about ?
