New York Gay Cruise Clubs

For an afternoon cruise on the Upper West Side, Les Hommes is promoted as a gay male entertainment store, but in reality, it is a cruise club with ten video rooms. A number of years ago, it merged with its sister store, Unicorn, to create more rooms.

Les Hommes has some unusual trading hours. It opens daily at midday yet closes in the early evening between 6.30 and 7.00 pm.

Blue Door Video is a classic old-school adult shop with a cruisy backroom. Reviewers describe the action here as edgy, dark, and a little dangerous (suggesting that other people can watch what you’re doing).

Blue Door Video advertises that it’s open from 10 am to 10 pm daily, but other reviewers have commented that it is closed on some days during these times.

Gay travelers looking for a non-scene cruise bar in a basement setting will love Nowhere Bar in the East Village. The bar also has drag shows, DJ dance parties, and go-go dancers. Head to the darkroom to make some new friends.
