Every June is special for the LGBTQ+ community. At once solemn and celebratory, June marks Pride Month, punctuated by the anniversary of the historic protests and subsequent riots at Stonewall Inn (#Stonewall50) which lit a spark in the decades-long struggle for equality. But this June marks an extra special Pride Month, as it’s exactly 50 years since those historic events. New York will play host to World Pride this weekend in honor of the anniversary and the city expects as many as 4 million folks in from every corner of the world to celebrate, march, dance, and of course, eat and drink!
We’re delighted to incorporate special coverage of Pride Month in June, so whether you’re visiting New York for World Pride or celebrating from afar, we hope we’re able to help make you shine your Pride colors just a little brighter this year.
For those visiting New York this June for Pride, we assume your trip may have you down by Stonewall. During the Pride Parade on Sunday, June 30th, things will be bonkers so be warned—but if you’re down there any other time, we suggest these 5 Places to Eat Near Stonewall for World Pride.
All that eating and drinking might leave you feeling a little groggy the next morning, in which case you might need recovery in the form of a mimosa (or 4) at New York’s Best Drag Brunches for World Pride. And though not all are in New York, chances are you may be in striking distance of one of these 5 Gay Restaurants to Check out For Pride Month.
