Mother's. When your crew wakes up at two in the afternoon and craves breakfast, visit the “Queen of the Po-Boys.” Feast on early morning staples served in the middle of the day, or partake in the overstuffed sandwiches that leave locals shouting for more. Seriously. There’s a lot of shouting at Mother’s. In fact, if you’re a little hung over, you might want to hold off another day. Get the best service by observing how the locals order, or you’ll get snapped at. But the food’s worth it, and you just might run into superstar frequent eaters like Lenny Kravitz. Mother's, 401 Poydras St., New Orleans, LA70130. 504-523-9656.
Swamp Tour. Remind your groom that getting married isn’t as scary as being eaten by gators. Let an experienced crew show you the real Louisiana bayou. Call ahead to get a private skiff and a personal guide for your bachelor party. Cypress SwampTours, (504) 581-4501.
Pat O’Brien’s. This bar sells more alcohol per year than nightclubs twenty times its size. After all, they did invent the Hurricane. Though it’s a borderline tourist trap at times, you can get a great deal on a private event room for your bachelor party. A perfect place to eat and drink while you roast the groom. Pat O'Brien's Bar, 718 St. Peter Street, New Orleans, LA 70116. 504-525-4823.
