51st St), Therapy (348 W 52nd St), Boxers (742 9th Ave), Ritz (369 W 46th St) and Industry.
Since most of the dance clubs and bars in the city offer free admission, there is nothing better than going from bar to bar and enjoying the best of each! In the Hell’s Kitchen area, I recommend Posh (405 W. But to give the right hint, I’d recommend doing this at Hell’s Kitchen, as it’s a more touristy neighborhood, close to known places / hotels and for being a big concentration of gay bars and dance clubs in the city. PS: there is even a reality show that calls “Fire Island” and shows the vacation of a group of gay friends.ĥ – “Bar Hopping” – it seems silly but it’s THE BEST way to get to know and experience cool places in New York. Check out the most famous parties at the island.
A lot of fun from morning till night when the parties come to a climax! Click here and check out how to get there. And do not fool yourself into believing it to be a place of sin and perdition! Many families are there with their kids and it is a super friendly place.
Full of bars, restaurants, pool parties, drag queens and beautiful people. The island is the “gayest place” in the world. On average, this tour costs about $ 50 per person. But nothing that a train, a car and a ferry does not solve. This will cost you a little more money and availability, since the island is not in New York. PS: there is a super cool jukebox that gives a special effect to the place, and still, with some coins you can make “your music” play.Ĥ – Fire Island – If you want to get to know and enjoy Queer Culture in New York, Fire Island is the best place for it. The bar is beautiful, with incredible decor and full of beautiful people to flirt. Full of good, different, affordable drinks, it’s one of New York’s most famous gay bars and known as a “lesbian bar”. PS: It’s worth remembering that Stonewall is close to the Big Gay Ice Cream (61 Grove St) an ice cream shop that is essential for everyone who wants to take a close-up in New York and take some outrageous photos.ģ – Cubby Hole – Also in the Village, Cubby Hole is a great choice for a drink with your friends. Admission varies for the event, but usually, is free.
In addition, the bar is located in another gay district of the city, the Village, a “cool” neighborhood of New York surrounded by shops, bars and incredible dance clubs. Big names like RuPaul, Lady Bunny, among others have already left their mark there. In 1969, a demonstration kicked off the LGBT movement, which faced authorities and police in the well-known “Stonewall Revolt”. Stonewall is not just a cool bar that hosts drag shows, it’s also a milestone in Queer Culture’s history. O preço pra entrar varia por conta do evento, mas geralmente a entrada é free. Além disso, o bar se situa em outro bairro gay da cidade, o Village, um bairro “cool” de Nova York cercado de lojas, bares e baladas incríveis. Grandes nomes como RuPaul, Lady Bunny, dentre outros já deixaram sua marca lá. Em 1969, uma manifestação deu início ao movimento LGBT, que enfrentou as autoridades e a polícia na conhecida “Revolta de Stonewall”. Stonewall não é só um bar/balada legal que recebe shows drags, é também um marco na história da Queer Culture. Without doubt one of the best places in New York.Ģ – The Stonewall Inn – O lugar onde “tudo aconteceu”. And it is also cool that, because of the location (near many hotels), the place receives many tourists besides the New Yorkers.
Admission is free and the price of drinks are “ok” – about $8 for a Vodka drink with Cranberry.
The music includes everything, everything gay haha. Located in Hell’s Kitchen, one of New York’s gayest neighborhoods (and very close to the Times Square), Industry is a bar / dance club that opens every day and is also home to many famous drags that started doing shows there, as the winner of RuPaul eighth season, Bob The Drag Queen. His criteria: popularity, history and, of course, experiences he had living for three years in New York.ġ – Industry Bar – There is no way to talk about LGBT dance clubs without mentioning Industry. For this, I invited my great friend Leandro Veneziani, who selected dance clubs and bars not to be missed for those who are traveling to the Big Apple! Leandro has been lived here for three years. And this is completely normal, because the other’s option is not our problem, right? Taking all that into account, I think it’s fair to talk about the options that the city offers to the LGBT audience. Prejudice has no place here: you will see men holding hands and women holding hands. New York is a city rich in diversity: there is an incredible mix of cultures, languages, colors and also sexual genres and options.
Yes, this is a democratic blog that supports the LGBT cause.
