Bachelor Party/Guys Weekend
 

Jefferson Parish wants you to sow your wild oats before the “I DO”. Is that possible in one weekend? YOU HAVE NO IDEA! 

Friday:
Check into one of our value-priced to deluxe accommodation hotels. Hungry? Don’t worry, we have some of the nation’s most unique cuisine! Start with dinner at Ruth’s Chris Steak House where each steak is seared to perfection, finished with butter and freshly chopped parsley and served sizzling on a 500-degree plate. Steak not your thing, no problem. Head over to Deanie’s Seafood Restaurant, a local favorite in Bucktown–a fishing village along Lake Pontchartrain just west of New Orleans to enjoy some amazing seafood!

Now off to bed, you are going deep-sea fishing early in the morning!

Saturday:
Get up, get up, get up, the fish are biting! Captain Phil Robichaux's Fishing Charters is waiting for you to come experience world-class fishing! Enjoy the beautiful scenery and abundant wildlife in the unique Louisiana marshes and bayous. All experience levels welcome. The professional captains will work hard to ensure that you catch fish! Captain Phil only uses the best equipment. USCG licensed and insured captains operate 22 to 25 ft custom bay boats powered by 200 - 250 HP outboard motors. All boats are equipped with trolling motors and power poles for stealth. They even clean and bag your fish for you! Pack some snacks because you will not get back to the dock until mid-afternoon.

I’m sure you worked up an appetite catching all of those fish, how about a late lunch before you head to your hotel for a nap? Does a sloppy roast beef po-boy sound good? Pop into Short Stop Poboys for a mouth-watering po-boy sandwich. Their roast beef is to die for and their fried shrimp and oysters are also amazing! This local favorite is a must when visiting Jefferson Parish.

Rested? I know you napped well after your full day. Let’s get moving again and go to Gattuso’s Neighborhood Bar and Restaurant. Gattuso’s is conveniently located in the Gretna Historical District.

Sunday:
Rise and shine, Jefferson Parish has so much for you to do! Let’s head down to the town of Lafitte, former home of the infamous pirate, Jean Lafitte. Experience Louisiana in its natural state when you take a Louisiana swamp tour or fan boat ride with Airboat Adventures. Join an outgoing captain on a high-speed airboat ride through the Louisiana swamp! It’s a dynamic ecosystem supporting many types of aquatic and moist-soil vegetation, as well as a diverse wildlife population. You will be immersed in some of the most beautiful scenery in the world as they take you through the swamp and into the bayous lined with moss-draped cypress and tupelo gum trees. During your 1 hour 45 minute – 2 hour tour, you’ll have opportunities to see alligators, snakes, turtles, egrets, herons and ibis.

I bet all this fresh air has you hungry! Let’s have lunch at Perino’s Boiling Pot. While the jukebox cranks a mix of swamp pop, Led Zeppelin tunes and New Orleans Saints anthems, dine on some amazing boiled or fried seafood. The seafood gumbo is first-rate. The boudin oozes from its casing, and the stuffed artichoke is so overstuffed with garlicky, herb-laced, Parmesan-dusted dressing, it’s hard to find the artichoke. If you are lucky enough to dine here during crawfish season, the boiled crawfish are second to none!
