Unfortunately, once the pandemic forced bars to shut down, I was left feeling disconnected from a community of people I felt so comfortable around. the next morning.Īs a gay man, gay bars are where I have my best nights out - and where I tend to enjoy the music the most.
My friends and I would usually end up having a blast, and we'd dance until 3 or 4 a.m. Usually, we would end up somewhere in Hell's Kitchen, which is known as one of New York's most thriving gay neighborhoods because of its many gay bars and clubs. Before the coronavirus pandemic upended any semblance of a going-out lifestyle, I would exclusively recommend gay bars to my friends looking for fun nights out in New York City.
