New Orleans, Louisiana or “NOLA” as the kids are calling it these days, has everything you could want in a bachelorette weekend: good food, great drinks and an even better nightlife scene.
The only part of New Orleans that is a major drag is the queens! You’ll find fun drag bars and loud karaoke clubs lining Bourbon Street just begging the bride to let loose. Spend a day exploring the beautiful and historic French Quarter, hit up a famous Creole restaurant, bar hop on Bourbon and then score late night beignets at Cafe Du Monde. You bring the squad and Nola will bring the party.
