NEW YORK CITY INFORMATION

There are two major gay bar rags -- HX and Next -- and two major gay newspapers -- New York blade and Gay city news. These are generally available at bars and in sidewalk boxes in some neighborhoods (e.g. Chelsea, West Village). There’s also Go NYC magazine which says it’s a “cultural roadmap for the city girl” (bi-monthly). The LGBT Community Center (West 13th St. between Seventh and Eighth avenues) has a literature area on the 2nd floor where you can find these and others. The bar rags have listings of bars, restaurants, and sex venues, as well as some info on other places and activities.

There are a few bookstores that are gay/lesbian owned and/or operated. If you’re looking for a broad selection, you might try Creative Visions (548 Hudson, also West Village). Alas, the Oscar Wilde Memorial Book Shop (on Christopher Street half a block West of Sixth Avenue, West Village) is scheduled to close later in January. A good independent bookstore in the West Village with a gay section is Three Lives and Company at the corner of Waverly and West 10th Street. Bluestockings Womens Book Store is in the Lower East Side at 172 Allen Avenue (a bit South of Houston).

You can get to Chelsea or the West Village via the E train which can be found at 53rd Street and Fifth Avenue, near the Hilton. Aim downtown and get off at 23rd for Chelsea or West 4th Street for the Village. Or take the #1 from West 50th for Christopher Street (West Village). Or ask a New Yorker at the caucus reception for subway help. The trains run all night though somewhat less frequently after midnight.
