The Out Traveler New York City

New York City author Dan Allen takes you on a tour of the greatest city in the world, the multicultural mecca considered by travelers and historians alike to be the epicenter of gay civilization. With its neighborhood by neighborhood rundowns of today's hippest hotspots alongside localized LGBT history, this guide gives hand-picked, in-the-know recommendations for gay and gay-friendly lodging, dining, and activities that will illuminate the soul of New York -- not just in the known pink centers of Greenwich Village, Chelsea and Hell's Kitchen, but from Downtown to Uptown, and from the Bronx to Brooklyn. Included are helpful maps, gay-friendly ratings, and valuable travel tips.

Dan Allen is a New York City-based writer who contributes to The Advocate, Out, The Out Traveler, The Miami Herald, and many other publications.
