SLUTS IN THE CITY:

BEARS TAKE MANHATTAN

Open Afternoon, Miscellaneous Venues

Whether you’re a first timer or a steadfast New Yorker, it never fails... there’s always something exciting and new to discover in the greatest city

in the world.

Spend a leisurely afternoon strolling around town—check out The MoMA, Metropolitan, or one of our many museums, visit Chelsea’s new art galleries, hop on The Circle Line and cruise around Manhattan’s harbors or take a guided walking tour, catch a Broadway show, experience shopping like never before, or just sit back, relax and sample some of NYC’s mouth watering fare with friends old and new before heading out for a night of debauchery.

JACK @ ASPEN

Aspen

30 West 22nd Street

10pm

www.aspen-nyc.com

This lumberjack themed party gets its inspiration from the smoking venue it takes place in. Aspen... No, not Colorado but the New York City namesake bar/restaurant. With its log cabin design, rustic
bar and huge center open fire pit, this country getaway is offset by the modern glass deer heads mounted on the walls illuminating the frosted glass columns of birch trees, merging the mountain cabin escape of our dreams with the cosmopolitan style and sophistication of New York. Not that
you will even notice any of this... The place is jammed packed with men, muscle and music.
This new, New York City party has quickly become the hottest Thursday party around. Free

SNAXX

The Westside Tavern

360 West 23rd Street @ 9th Ave.

Doors open 10pm

Coming up on their 7 year anniversary,
DJs Rich King and Gustavo serve SNAXX every Friday night. The Fun, Friendly, Furry and Foxxy co-mingle in the basement of the Westside Tavern for good times and great music. There is something for everyone from fashion bear to good boy to gritty hunk. Come early, stay late and dance, dance, dance.
$5; Free with your UBW Tag

THE BAÑA POOL PARTY

88 Fulton Street

Doors open Midnight

www.thebanapoolparty.com

In a city that bores easily, The Baña Pool Party has been able to find success by bringing a nightlife alternative to New York’s gay scene... and indoor pool and spa party! That’s right guys, every six weeks deep in the heart of New York’s stuffy financial district, a 15,000 square foot Russian Spa plays host to the most diverse crowd of half naked guys you may ever see. Baña is chicken, pork and beef steamed to perfection!

There is a strict “pool themed” dress code so
flip-flops and bathing suits are the uniform

de rigueur, but not to worry…although the crowd is super-sexy, there’s not a drop of attitude to be found. Legendary DJ Billy Beyond spins all night with Special Guest appearance by Colton Ford premiering his new album Under the Covers featuring the new single and video, Losing My Religion.
Lockers are available. Towels are provided.
$50-$100; Free with your UBW Tag

Includes open vodka & beer bar all night long.

VANITY BEAR

Bear Invasion at Spa Belles

7th Ave @ 18th Street

10am-Noon

Being a bear certainly ain’t easy, and all that glamour doesn’t come naturally (or does it?)
Join your furry brethren for a morning of facials, mani-pedis and massages at Chelsea’s favorite salon, Spa Belles, where they’ll have you looking your prettiest in no time. You’ll be feeling great from head to pinky toe all weekend long!
(Though we recommend skipping the back wax.)

Visit spabelles.com for a list of services and fees.

Roof Deck of The Delancey Lounge

68 Delancey Street (at Clinton Street)

1-5pm

thedelancey.com

Voted one of NYC’s top 10 outdoor spaces, the Delancey's gorgeous roof deck is the perfect spot for
a mess of Bears chowin’ down, drinking up and doing what we do naturally... getting sloppy! We can't think
of a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than
kickin’ back outdoors with plenty of beers and bar-b-que, jam packed with bears, cubs and all that other furry wildlife. Come rain or shine, as the roof-top retracts!

$10 Includes BBQ; Free with your UBW Tag. Cash Bar

XXX Darkroom Will Be Open!

CRUISING is the latest party from John & Alessandro—a down and dirty sleaze-fest in the heart of New York City. Combining the seedy spirit
of the 70s with some of the hottest DJs, dancers and live performance-acts of today, the space is transformed each month into a regular den of sin. With a roster of some of the hottest DJs in NYC—
Bill Coleman, Mikie G, and Josh Sparber to name a few—a special CRUISING-style blend of eclectic dance music never fails to get the crowd up and moving. Porn stars, artists and hairy-chested studs mix in the shadows for a slice of NY nightlife.
Think the Anvil, Times Square hustlers, and the wild West Side Piers—if you¹re wondering where the grime has gone, you’ll find it here. CRUISING is a sport, so come prepared with the right equipment! For up-to-date information on the men of CRUISING and CRUISING events, check out their website.

12-4 pm

NOTE: THE FORECAST FOR SUNDAY LOOKS GOOD, BUT IN THE EVENT OF RAIN, WE WILL ALL MEET AT TY’S & GYM BAR TO GET PLASTERED.

Rugby, Dodgeball, Frisbee, Tug-of-War, and Twister? Nothing beats a Spring picnic in Central Park unless of course it’s to celebrate the hot men of NYC’s gay sports leagues.

Brown bag it and head on over to the park, spread your blanket and show off that huge basket. A lazy afternoon under the sun and the Manhattan skyline, with games and activities all afternoon long. Free

We recommend purchasing your lunch at our Bear friendly supporters, Bone Lick Park and Rocking Horse Mexican Cafe

Consider bringing a blanket, picnic items, beverages, sunscreen and any sporting equipment such as bats & balls (other than your own) with you. Please note that alcohol is strictly prohibited in the park.

We ask your cooperation to please take a moment and clean up the area around you before leaving the park, so that the city will invite us back next year! Thanks!

able to handle them, with Daddies John Lovett (Cruising) and Joe Oppedisano (Uncensored) making you beg for it behind the bar.

years now.

Comfortable and relaxed, this quintessential Bear
bar and West Village landmark quite possibly has the friendliest crowd (and staff!) in town. Don’t be surprised how after a few drinks everybody knows your name (and everybody’s glad you... well, you know) Free
