Gay hotels manhattan new york

June brings NYC Pride, one of the largest and most vibrant celebrations in the world.

Relax at Gay Beaches & Parks

Head to the Christopher Street Pier for sunbathing and socializing with locals. Explicit sexual activity isn't encouraged: if you want to do that you can go to East Side Club.

It should be noted that The Russian & Turkish Baths is not a gay bathhouse.

Rooftop bars and open-air events make summer in New York especially lively.

Getting Around New York

New York is easy to navigate by subway, bus, or on foot. During the 1970s, New York had several gay saunas and bathhouses that were explicitly part of the LGBTQ+ scene, with some using similar "Russian & Turkish Baths" branding.

This historic bathhouse offers a variety of traditional services, including multiple saunas, steam rooms, and an ice-cold plunge pool.

Sunday's between 9am - 2pm are men only, as are Thursdays between 12pm-5pm. Prospect Park and the High Line offer green space and city views.

Enjoy Outdoor Adventures

Bike along the Hudson River Greenway, take a sunset cruise around Manhattan, or explore Brooklyn’s art scene.

It can't quite rival it's bigger European rivals but it's worth visiting - especially later on a weekend - if you're looking for some action. Bar-hopping has never been this easy.

Chelsea is the next largest, west of the Empire State Building, and has numerous laid-back and chilled venues.

The East Village is a trendy hub of artists and free-spirited individuals, and the gay venues there play host to this crowd.

Queens, over the East River, is a more spread-out gayborhood with drag, go-go, and leather bars catering to all tastes.

Cross the Brooklyn Bridge, and you’ll arrive in NYC’s sixth gayborhood.

The age range is mixed but it skews older. Adjacent to the Times Square theater district, the largest number of gay venues is packed into a few blocks.
