GLAS - NYC

So, you are new to the city and trying to meet other Gay and Lesbian Arabs.  Here are some ideas of where to go beyong the bi-weekly GLAS meetings:
  • Factory Cafe on Christopher Street: This cozy cafe has become a favorite hangout amongst Gay Arabs, specially those that live in New Jersey due to its proximity to public transportation.
  • Manatus on Bleeker: This 24hr dinner on Bleeker street also attracts many Gay Arab men specially for brunch on Sundays.
  • Salam Restaurant on 13th Street and 6th Ave is a nice and elegant Arab restaurant perfect for a nice romantic date or a calm gathering of friends.  Managment is very gay friendly and the food is delicious.
  • Lips Restaurant on Greenwich and 7th Ave is  a popular daily drag showplace.  Wednesday night features performance by the one and only Sultanah, NYC premier Arab drag queen with her own followers of cute boys.
  • The Townhouse on Manhatan's Upper East Side is a haven for a more mature crowd.  Closeted UN employees work the room and try to avoid hustlers.  Sugar Daddy/Hummus Queens seekers galore....
  • Splash on 17th street and 6th Ave attracts many young Arabs on the weekends, primarily from other boroughs.  The downstairs bar is a bit less noisy and more suited for conversation.
