Brunch With the Best of Them
Our guy friends are great and all, but it’s not uncommon for them to order an IPA at brunch to go with a burger. At brunch. Conversely, our girlfriends know what’s up. Girlfriends appreciate a grapefruit mimosa and will get those wide eyes with you when the waiter mentions today’s special of brûléed banana pancakes.

Try a New Coffee Shop

Yoga

If you don’t think you guys can managing downward facing dog without turning towards the other and giggling, try a workout class like Zumba. Of course, you should also make time for conversations afterword, might we suggest a cocktail or heading to a bakery? You earned it.

Karaoke
There’s something about belting out “Dancing Queen” or Aretha’s “Respect” with your girlfriends by your side that is inherently fun.

And, with your girlfriends by your side, it’s completely doable.
