Check Out a Spin Class at CycleBar | 125 Vervalen Street, Closter + 28 Farm Vw, Montvale + 327 Franklin Avenue Suite 7, Wyckoff

Trying a new fitness class with friends is a great way to mix things up and have fun. CycleBar is the ideal spot for a workout with the crew. The lights are low, the music’s pumping and the energy is through the roof. A cycle class at CB will get those endorphins flowing and leave the group feeling strong and possibly with a newfound hobby.

Friends are there for the highs and lows, but now and then, it’s all about hitting the reset button — and sometimes, it’s even better to do it together. That’s where Psychic Ruby comes in — a local psychic and Tarot reader in the heart of Closter. Ruby specializes in helping people reconnect with their inner “main character” energy.

Nothing beats a classic diner for a quick brunch. There is always a relaxed vibe, and the menu has everything from comforting breakfasts to classic diner staples like wraps, sandwiches, and soups. With so many options, it’s a suitable spot for the girls to grab a bite — especially if the group can’t decide what they’re in the mood for. Bergen County is home to some of the best diners around. Check out BG’s list of top picks here.

Treat Yourself to a Mani-Pedi at Elite NailedIt | 1636 Palisade Avenue, Fort Lee

A good mani/pedi is always a hit. It’s the foolproof way to relax, and getting pampered with the girls makes for a fun day out. Booking an appointment in advance is key to ensuring the group can all get seats next to each other, turning the experience into a full-on bonding sesh. Elite NailedIt is a recent addition to Fort Lee, providing a clean, welcoming space with a talented team and convenient parking right outside. BG pro-tip: When hunger hits and the girls crave a quick, healthy snack, Fudgarten is right next door. Fudgarten boasts a selection of options, including refreshing smoothies, wraps, and even gluten-free goodies.

Night Activities

Have a Bite + Drink | 2010 Hudson Street, Fort Lee + 36 Engle Street, Englewood + 91 West Clinton Avenue, Tenafly + 296 NY-17, Hillburn

Sharing a meal, whether at a familiar place or somewhere new, is always an enjoyable experience. BG has had some lavish nights at places like the new LA Noma in Fort Lee, Sofia’s in Englewood, Lefkes in Englewood Cliffs, and Spring House in Tenafly. If the party is up for adventure, just a 10-minute drive from Mahwah brings the group to Mount Fuji in Hillburn, NY, for a fun-filled hibachi night. At Mount Fuji, the group can enjoy exceptional entertainment, delicious noodles, rice, and a choice of protein, plus sweet cocktails. BG recommendation: Don’t miss the lychee martini — it’s a must-try.

Hit the Karaoke Stage at Rock 21 | 400 Bergen Boulevard, Palisades Park

There’s nothing like a night out with entertainment, especially when it involves singing classic tunes. Maybe your crew loves 80’s hair bands or pop classics from the 2000s, either way, everyone can sing their hearts out to their favorite songs.  Rock 21 in Palisades Park is the ultimate karaoke destination. With great prices, a full bar, savory Korean snacks, and an outstanding song selection, it’s the ideal place for a karaoke night.

Host a Wine + Cheese Night with Treats from Cafasso’s Fairway Market | 1214 Anderson Avenue, Fort Lee

Sometimes the best nights with friends are spent in sweats at home. A wine + cheese night is a great way to keep things fun and budget-friendly. For a successful wine + cheese night, start by finding a spot with fresh cheeses and an impressive wine selection. BG recommends stopping by a local market like Cafasso’s Fairway Market in Fort Lee, which has an abundance of cheeses right next to a great variety of wines. After choosing the cheese and wine, the best part is unwinding, enjoying snacks, and spending time with friends.

Step onto the Dance Floor at Midland Brewhouse | 374 North Midland Avenue, Saddle Brook

When it’s time to let loose with the girls, the key is finding a place with solid music and a dance floor ready to go. While Hoboken has plenty of options (just a quick train ride from Bergen County), there are also a few hidden gems in Bergen County. BG recommends Midland Brew House in Saddle Brook, a massive two-story venue spanning over 10,000 square feet. Whether it’s a DJ spinning beats or live music performances, the tunes are always a hit and make everyone groove.
