On the town: Are you screaming for a bachelorette party?
Water Street bars like McGillicuddy's and Trinity, dance clubs like Decibel or Bootleggers and of course the token piano bar Lucille's are constantly welcoming hordes of ladies out to celebrate fleeting moments of freedom. That's essentially what a bachelorette party is. Just like the comparable bachelor party, bachelorette parties represent one final fling and a chance to do anything and everything the bride desires.
