New York City Gay and Lesbian Travel Tips
- Choose your lodging based on your interests. If you want to experience the classic gay and lesbian scene, choose Chelsea. If you're into theater, stay in Times Square. If you’re into the city’s vibrant African-American community, stay in Harlem. If you prefer the grungy, artsy scene, choose the Lower East Side.
- Learn the secret schedule of taxis. When taxi drivers change shifts around 4 or 5 p.m. and 4 or 5 a.m., it can be extremely difficult to grab a cab. They may simply stop and ask you where you’re going to see if you’re going their way. If you’re not, they may decline to take you. Avoid cab problems by learning the subway system—it’s by far the cheapest way to get around and have a true NYC experience at the same time!
- Add on Fire Island. During the season on Fire Island (roughly May to September), you can feel like a real New Yorker by joining in on the lively beach scene here. Of the two main LGBT enclaves on the island, The Pines is more male and exclusive; Cherry Grove is more lesbian and democratic. There are a handful of lodging options on the island, including The Grove Hotel in Cherry Grove—just book early.
Gay and Lesbian Travel Overview: New York City, New York
America's largest city is a country unto itself. Sure, it may have become more sanitized and gentrified in the past few years, with 9/11 adding a dose of melancholy to the city’s diehard ambition. But New York City will always be one of the premier destinations for LGBT travelers looking for a monumental experience that demands all the energy, attention, and creativity that you can muster. It’s nothing less than exhilarating.Read More
