Gay New York Restaurants

Fresco's Cantina is a fun and lively, gay owned and operated restaurant, unlike any other Mexican restaurant out there. They host the only Drag Brunch in Queens, NY and also have several other events that are geared to the LGBTQ community and allies.

A cute and cozy venue in the middle of a residential neighborhood, perfect to meet with friends or make new friends. Amazing food, delicious drinks and excellent service. A real gem located in the heart of Astoria.

A charming Parisian brasserie that's very French but also very New York, Buvette is a great place for brunch. It's located in the West Village. You can enjoy hangover-busting croques or scrambled eggs, and also pop back later in the evening for a cocktail. It's a classy venue with a lot of charm.

No trip to New York is complete without visiting a classic Jewish deli. Pictured here you'll find The Monster, otherwise known as New York's Biggest Sandwich. You can opt for a smaller option too! Try a classic Reuben sandwich or matzo ball soup. This is a very filling and very New York place to eat.

One of the most celebrated restaurants in New York, KOCHI serves the finest Korean food from a nine-course tasting menu. It's located in Hell’s Kitchen where you'll find New York's best gay bars. This is a classy place for a meal before you head for your big night out. It has a Michelin star. Advanced booking is required.

HAGS is a queer-owned fine dining restaurant in New York City. This quaint East Village restaurant offers a six-course tasting menu and a four-course vegan dessert tasting menu. They accept walk-ins for groups of up to six people but require reservation for parties of seven and up.

Ursula is a queer-owned restaurant in Bed Stuy serving cuisine inspired by New Mexico. Owner Chef Eric See has a long history of work within the LGBTQ+ food community and is dedicated to having an all-LGBTQ+ staff.

If you're dropping by at Ursula, make sure to try their hashbrown-stuffed burritos and chile roast, which sells out fast!
