Late fall right through early January is my favorite time to be in New York City - the weather is cool and crisp, the shopping comes alive for the holidays, and the city feels full of energy and excitment. Last week I spent several days and evenings wandering around different New York City neighborhoods, checking out gay-popular bars, shops, restaurants, hotels, and other points of interest in the East Village, Soho, Brooklyn, and Chelsea - the latter being New York City's hub of gay culture. Here's my photo gallery on fun places of fun places for dining, shopping, socializing, cruising, and - yes - even buying sex toys in this lively Manhattan neighborhood. I've posted about 15 photos so far, but I'll be adding another 30 or so throughout the week.
