2 Younger Gay Males

So my BF and I have been to NYC a number of times, and have checked out quite a few gay bars in the city. Looking for something new and exciting this time, and we are open to all suggestions! We are staying at the Hampton Inn near Chelsea, but obviously can navigate the city pretty good via taxi (no brainer) and subway.

Just exactly did you have in mind?

Tourist things?

More Bars?

Clubs?

I agree, we need more info. What are your ages, budget, etc. What are you looking for - specifically gay recos or general tourism?

For general tourism:

If you have time, I highly recommend checking out The Panorama!!!

It is a scale model of the entire city of New York. Including every single building.

Every. Single. Freakin%26#39;. Buildilng.

Here%26#39;s what it looks like if you were allowed to stand in it:

For a newer gay venue, check out Therapy in Hell%26#39;s Kitchen. Great Wed. night amateur show, starts at 11 pm.

Hiro on sunday is kinda cute.

Just got in from dinner in Chelsea. Damn! Everybody is out and about and looking fine! Obviously, those early mornings at the gym have paid off, people! Lots of streetlife, new restaurants, shopping, etc.

We ate at (yet another!!!) new Thai restaurant called Room Service. Great prices, good food. I had pad thai that was the most tamarind-y I%26#39;ve ever had, and it was all wrapped in an egg-white omelet. Tasty contrast between mild egg white ';tortilla'; and tangy tamarind on noodles. Plus, it also had some calamari and scallops in it. Not sure about authenticity, but I enjoyed it.

Decor is funny - sleek minimalism mixed with odds and ends of kitchsy ';hotel lobby';, such as doors, glass faceted doorknobs, room numbers, night tables, bad ';Oriental'; wallpaper, etc.

Hopefully you%26#39;ll be here for the fantastic Gay Pride Parade. If you%26#39;ve never been to the NY event, it%26#39;s one of our most fun parades. You should also get in touch with the Gay %26amp; Lesbian Center for gay-specific social events.

Unfortunatley, we will not be in NYC during gay pride. We are comming Saturday June 1 through Wednesday July 5. I guess we arent looking for something nessarily gay...some new and fun gay bars would be cool. Does anyone have any insight into the gay boat cruise on the river?

I%26#39;d skip the Pier Dance this year. Despite it being the 20th anniversary, we have a lamo ';celebrity'; performance, rumoured to be Kristine W....(deliver me from the D list). The least they could have done was get Brittany Murphy.

I guess it%26#39;s better than last year when rumours were rampant that it was gonna be Mariah Carey. (Despite her performing in Germany then night before.) All my friends, and 1/2 the crowd were devistated when the Pussycat Dolls took the stage and nobody knew who they were. (Dontcha hadn%26#39;t been released yet.)

Big Cup, which you may remember from previous trips (8th Ave 21st - 22nd) is gone, but it looks like whatever is replacing it (Arcadia) will be open soon. Have no idea what it is. Next door, Java Boy, has sort of filled in for Big Cup... That whole 8th Ave strip from 15th to 22nd is probably a good starting place.

Also, there are a lot of decent restaurants with outdoor dining on 7th from 22nd to 18th. Sette, Il Bastardo, Regional Thai Taste, Singe Vert (have seen Kyan of Queer Eye fame there several times), Le Zie, Elmo, etc.

I heard about what is supposed to be a fun night:

Musical mondays at SBNY splash bar. It is on 50 west 17th street. There is supposed to be no cover charge before 11 o%26#39;clock.
