No Boys Allowed: 10 Best Ways to Have an Absolutely Fabulous Girls' Night Out in NYC

Ever since our pigtails days we valued our girls only time. We love ya guys, we really do... most of the time. 

But every girl needs her gal pal time to blow off some steam, get a little silly, let her hair down, and gossip about you, the boys, of course. 

Whether celebrating a bachelorette party, promotion, break up, or BFIT (best friend in town), the reasons are endless. 
As if you need a reason for a GNO. Please. But, whatever the reason, it's a good one. 

We realize there are loads of different types of GNO's to be had out there. Not everyone lets their hair down the same way. Don't worry, we've got you covered. 

There's something for every kind of girl in these 10 spots for an absolutely fabulous girl's night out.


1. The Adventurous GNO: Johnny Utah’s (25 West 51st Street)

“Get bucked up” is their tagline. Need we say more?

Just do us all a favor and wear something that might not bare every nook and cranny during your wild wild Midtown West ridin’ stint.


2. The Baller’s GNO: Le Souk (510 LaGuardia Place)

A mere $300 gets you champagne and a VIP table. Hookah it up if that’s your thang. 

Oh, and this spot is Moroccan themed, so you can feel fancy and cultured.


3. The Low Key GNO: Camp (175 Smith Street - Brooklyn)

Eight year old you will be psyched with this girls night out. A girl’s night in; without staying in. Cozy up to the fireplace, roast some marshmallows, and channel your inner girlscout. 

 Yes, there are s'mores, obviously. Add a patch to your sash when you participate in good sportsmanship whilst playing the in house board games as a bonus.


4. The Foodie’s GNO: Verlaine (110 Rivington Street)

As girls we like to sample food from everyone’s plate, so head to the LES to share and try various tapas selections to your hearts content.

Sharing is caring. Bonus: happy hour lasts until 10pm.


5. The Stamina GNO: Beauty & Essex (146 Essex Street)

Who says girl’s night can’t take place during the daylight hours too? Start early with brunch, and continue into the late hours of the night. 

Also, this spot is hidden behind a pawn shop, so that, in and of itself is just plain cool.

Sweets and adult beverage pairings galore. The perfect place to skip dinner and go straight for dessert.

Because if you don’t like cupcakes, we shouldn’t be friends anyways.


7. The Sporty Spice GNO: Brooklyn Bowl (61 Wythe Ave - Brooklyn)

brooklynbowl @rubblebucket took crowd surfing to another extreme last night, and we absolutely loved it! Who's ready to get wild with them TONIGHT? Thanks @willleetmusic for this amazing photo. #rubblebucket #crowdsurf #kalmiatraver #livemusic #brooklyn #brooklynbowl #tonight #saturday #weekend


Because nothing screams girls night out like wearing a pair of greasy, overused shoes? Get a little sporty, a bit competitive, and throw some balls. 

Come for the balls, stay for the live music. A perfect choice for when you want to be a tad sporty without getting major sweaty.


8. The Budget GNO: Tartine (253 West 11th Street)

BYO + GNO go together, don’t ya think? With no corkage fee, you’re free to spend your hard earned cashola on tasty grub instead of dominating the check with drinks. 

Because let’s be real, that’s what usually happens. Every. Time. So get comfy in this pocket sized café and pull that bottle of wine out of your purse... it’s okay.Tip: Cash only.


9. The Rockin’ & Poppin’ GNO: The Jane (113 Jane Street)

Arrive fashionably late (because that’s when the party starts- late). Grab some liquid courage. Tear it up.


10. The Gossiper’s GNO: The Confessional (308 East 6th Street)

What better place to divulge the fresh gossip than a place that encourages you to spill your secrets on the walls of their establishment? 

If that wasn’t enough of a reason; their crafty, clever cocktails will seal the deal.
