Atlantic City restaurant/nightlife recommendations pls?
I'm planning a bachelorette party next month in Atlantic City. There are six of us, and we'll be staying at Harrah's for two nights. Can you recommend good places for dinner? Bride is kind of a foodie, and 4/6 of us will be coming from NY so there's a strong preference for restaurants that don't have NY locations. That unfortunately eliminates a lot of options.
Also, nightlife -- bride does not want to go to clubs. None of us have any interest in cheesy bachelorette party antics (or cheesiness, generally, really). What other options exist? (I'm scared that the answer is nothing.)
Thanks!
Re: Atlantic City restaurant/nightlife recommendations pls?
I actually don't think there are any Michael Mina restaurants in NY! I lived in Philadelphia for a few years and liked Continental when I lived there, so that's on the list.
And I maybe wasn't clear regarding nightlife -- we definitely want to go out drinking both nights, but the bride doesn't want to go to a nightclub. So we're looking for other drinking options -- lounges, bars, etc., but I don't know what exists that wouldn't be a cheesy or otherwise bad scene.
Thanks!
Hunt around on Philly board for the best recs for AC.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
We have daytime figured out -- just trying to figure out night!
LP, good call on checking out the Philly board. I'd do that.
It isn't! His NY restaurants are different!
cool! then I would definitely check it out. We eat there every time we're in AC and have never been disappointed. The lobster / avocado cocktail app is amazing.
For entertainment, we've seen a few B list acts - Bret Michaels and Russell Brand come to mind. They were really fun. Sammy Hagar's Beach Bar at Bally's is also a favorite of ours. Great people watching!!
Personally, I love the Continental. I think the one in AC is better than the one (there are two) I went to in Philly. I'm sure it's in my head, but that's okay. Like PPs said, check out the restaurants at the Borgata - they're all beautiful and I haven't heard a bad thing about them. Plus the hotel is great.
The Melting Pot is a good suggestion. It's a chain, but it's fun with a group of people.
