New York Fast Facts:
- Gayborhood There are gay people and venues all over town. In NYC being gay isn't an issue, it's a birthright! That said, the most obvious gay 'hoods are Chelsea, Hell's Kitchen, the East Village, the West Village and Williamsburg in Brooklyn.
- Welcome to NYC Arriving at JFK Airport? The AirTrain/Subway service can get you to Manhattan for a few dollars, but it'll take about 90 minutes. Taxis are likely faster, but from JFK it's $45 plus tip; a just a bit less from LaGuardia.
- Bars 101 Pick up a local bar mags to find out what's on party-wise! Next is the weekly for boys. Go NYC is for lesbians.
- "House-ton" We Have a Problem That big street downtown that looks like a Texas city name? You'll recognize it as Houston Street. But it's pronounced "House-ton." It's weird, but true.
- Follow the Rainbow This summer it's all about the 40th anniversary of Stonewall, so expect Gay Pride in NYC to be bigger than ever. NYC & Company's Rainbow Pilgrimage site is a fab resource for everything that's happening in gay NYC. Check it out!
- Shopping, clubbing, and culture; Gotham City boasts it all. New York was recently voted Best US Destination in the 2009 TripOut Gay Travel Awards.
- Go Underground If you're going to be in NYC more than a few days, use the subway to get around! Buy the weekly pass. It's a good deal. 7-days of 24/7 travel underground for $25. For more info, head to http://www.mta.info/.
- The NYC & Company is a member of the IGLTA, the International Gay & Lesbian Travel Association, which supports and promotes LGBT travel around the world.
