Booking a bachelor or bachelorette party soon? (Or any party, for that matter?) We ate, drank, danced and relaxed at one of the best party cities in the country, and all we have to say is watch out, Vegas. Plus:

• Pocket Watches: They're still being made. You should get one.
• Max Homa: We chatted with the most likeable golfer on tour.

Forget Vegas: Atlantic City Is the Ultimate Bachelor Party Destination

Look, we love Las Vegas (okay, some of us more than others), but Sin City has been in the spotlight for far too long. As East Coasters, there’s another destination that is very close to our hearts for its casinos, restaurants and iconic boardwalk: Atlantic City.

Because it’s much smaller than Vegas, it has a more intimate, less overwhelming feel. But it also has that very special, “if you don’t leave the casino you’ll have no idea what time it is” feel, which is one of the great charms of this particular type of party town. Atlantic City is a magical place, and in our opinion, it’s one of the best destinations for a bachelor party or any other kind of epic celebration.

Rule #35: You’re an asshole if you post answers to Wordle, Connections or any New York Times game before the day is over. Your “SPOILER ALERT” tweet preceding a screenshot of the answer isn’t enough. (By the way, they officially launched their latest game this week, called Strands.)

Yesterday, we asked if you've ever shared conversations you'd had on a dating app. About 68% of you said no, and 28% of you said you've only shared them privately among friends.

A Brief Guide to Modern Pocket Watches

Have you considered the humble pocket watch lately? You may be raising a quizzical eyebrow — and we get it.

But maybe, just maybe, pocket watches should be given some extra consideration. If not for their practicality — they’re not nearly as practical as wristwatches, after all — then for their beauty, their charm and their historical importance. And while we could wax poetic about vintage pocket watches all day long, why not examine some of the few modern ones available on the market today?

22 Questions With Max Homa, the Most Likable Golfer on Tour

Statistically, there must be people in this world who dislike Max Homa. But has anyone actually ever met such a person? In the rather staid and stodgy world of professional golf, the 33-year-old’s deadpan, self-deprecating humor sets him apart from the field almost as much as his game.

We caught up with him ahead of his first round at TPC River Highlands to chat about a disappointing missed cut at the U.S. Open, changing diapers and what golf has given him.
