New York Gay Bars
& Clubs
New York City is home to the world's most
 exciting gay club scene, bar none. A combination of the best DJs, most imaginative lighting and spaces, and -- more than anything -- fascinating, sexy crowds make it a night crawler's dream. The only requirements are an open mind and the ability to stay up late. Picking the right New York City dance club depends on your desired crowd/scene, and the night of the week. The best advice we can give you is to pick up one of the bar weeklies (HX), because the club scene changes faster than a speeding bullet in New York. An off night will mean an off crowd, so be tactical in your decision making. The cover charge for most of the bigger dance clubs ranges from $10 to $25. Constant changes aside, here's a look at the clubs most likely to be around when you visit, organized by day of the week, starting with the most important night of all. Saturday is dancing night in the Big Apple. (Out
