About New York
Choice. That’s what New York offers gay visitors. Rich with the history of Stonewall, a lively LGBT community and the fabulosity of being the city that never sleeps, New York is so full of options it can be overwhelming.
Don’t fret, it is not hard to plan the perfect queer-tinerary of the Big Apple. Seven days a week you can find what, and possibly who, you’re after no matter where you hang out on the continuum. Gay culture has spread its wings throughout New York and the well-known gay areas such as Chelsea, Hell’s Kitchen and The Village are no longer your only option. Venture over to the Upper West Side or Queens and live a little.
New York City is home to the world’s most exciting gay club scene, bar none. A combination of the best DJs, most imaginative lighting and spaces, and — more than anything — fascinating, sexy crowds make it a night crawler’s dream. The only requirements are an open mind and the ability to stay up late. Picking the right New York
