Book Description
A guide to all aspects of gay life in all five boroughs, Queer New York City was written by a team of gay and lesbian writers who covered the cabarets, clubs, bars, and institutions that have made New York one of the global focal points for gay culture. This book contains over 140 reviews of the hottest dance clubs, bars, bookstores, community centers, and even queer hotels. For tourists or locals, West Village bears or Chelsea party boys, the latest entry into On Your Own Publication's series of best-selling travel guides has it all.
Customer Reviews:
Practically worthless.......2003-01-25
Oh, so chatty and friendly, everything this guide mentions, profiles, or reviews is simply F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S. To read this book is to think that every gay spot in New York is just shy of heaven. Even the biggest dive receives rave reviews. While giving high marks to everything and supposedly being "the authoritative guide to gay & lesbian NYC," it fails to know about new hot spots (particularly in the burgeoning Hell's Kitchen neighborhood). Good for addresses of places only.
Both practical *and* fun.......2001-12-21
Aldous Huxley wrote, "For every great traveler who has any taste of his own, the only useful guidebook will be the one which he himself has written." That said, the editor has created a tremendously useful and compact volume that is much like what I would have written, were I able to visit all these places.
Readers will find this guide good entertainment while traveling to New York (it's very readable, unlike others), as well as good for carrying as a reference while exploring the city (it fits easily into a pocket, backpack, or purse).
This book was written with the audience in mind. It includes directions, websites, phone number, hours of operation, and includes points of interest that may be near a particular entry. While the overall organization of the book is by type of entertainment or activity, the index is arranged alphabetically as well as by neighborhood (a very helpful feature).
Queer New York City is full of practical advice - the kind you would provide a visiting friend. It has a sprinkling of humor without being obnoxious, is clearly written to give the reader a good idea of what to expect from a particular establishment, and is never too wordy.
If you're visiting New York City for the first time and are looking for places to go, if you're a regular visitor and want to expand your horizons and find places you didn't know existed, or if you're a native and want to give visitors a practical, well-organized guide to the queer side of NYC (the one you would write, if you had time), this book is for you.
I hope they'll do this for more cities!

Everything You Need to Know.......2007-05-11
Hinds, Patrick. "The Q Guide to New York City Pride", Alyson, 2007.
Everything You Need to Know
Amos Lassen and Literary Pride
You may wonder why someone who lives in Little Rock, Arkansas would be interested in New York City Pride. I asked myself the same question before I began to read Patrick Hind's "The Q Guide to New York City Pride". The answer is quite simple. Little Rock is in its infancy regarding gay pride and we are trying to pull off a big pride celebration this year. Anything that goes on somewhere else can give us ideas of how to make it better for us here. Additionally, New York City is one of the gayest cities in America and stands tall in the history of gay life so there is much to be learned from a book like this. And let me say further that in this small volume there is a lot of information as can seen by the book's subtitle "Stuff You Didn't Even Know You Wanted to Know...about the landmarks, people, and events that defined queer culture". In 146 pages there is a great deal of our history and explanations on why we do certain things. Hinds has done his job well.
This is a fun book as we go behind the scenes and learn both facts and trivia about The Big Apple. We get to the soul of the gay movement and we feel pride to be part of the rainbow.
Hinds takes us to Greenwich Village, one of the world's most popular gay meccas and an important part of our history. The gay liberation movement began there and the Village still thrives as the heart of American gay cultural life. Our literary tradition began in the Village as well and many came out of the closet there. We see how gays organized in the Village to make the world a better place for us to live in. We learn of the beginning of the sexual revolution and the part we, as gay people, played in it and we see our response to the AIDS epidemic. Finally we learn what gay pride is and how we should act with pride. There is a history of the bars of we York and we meet the people who were instrumental in changing the course of American gay history. The book instills pride because we learn of those who worked so hard so that we can have what we have today.
This alone is amazing. In a slim little book there is a lot of our past as well as our present and future. There is also a great deal of fun trivia and you can pick up facts that otherwise you may never have known or been aware of. New York as a "fabulously queer past" and Hinds shares it with us. It's all here and it is all very readable. We owe it to ourselves to know what is in this book. Just today I met a 27 year old gay man who had never heard of Stonewall and had no idea of who Christine Jorgenson is (not that she is from New York). It is our duty to reclaim our past in order to have a better future. After all, isn't that what pride is all about?

If you're looking for an objective guide to New York City, you won't find it in Betty & Pansy's Severe Queer Review of New York. What you will find becomes clear on the very first page: "New York City, as you already know, is totally fun, fast, dirty and completely messed up, which we discovered the hard way when we arrived all alone and virginal. Once we were worn down, used up and permanently embittered, we wrote this book as a warning to those who might come after us.... " It should be apparent by now that Betty and Pansy are not your average travel writers. As they themselves caution, "Some of you may not agree with us, but we are forced by our natures to call them as we see them (and to leave 'em where God flung 'em). So bear that in mind."
In the Severe Queer Review of New York, gay and lesbian travelers will find a comprehensive guide to bars, clubs, restaurants, favorite cruising areas, and other attractions, all described in Betty and Pansy's inimitable style. A description of the Wall Street Sauna, for example, says "At first I wondered if a nudist colony and an old-age home had collided, and then a bathhouse had been built around the accident site.... "For the skinny on New York's best gay and lesbian hangouts, trust Betty and Pansy--they won't steer you wrong.
Book Description
Reviewing everything from the historic gay landmarks of the West Village and the clubs of Chelsea to the cruising venues of Times Square and the lesbian hot spots of Park Slope, Betty and Pansy are as trashy and opinionated as only two queens can be. Cattiness, sarcasm, dish, dirt, and a new section on Fire Island it's all here from two seasoned travel writers.
