Fully Revised and Expanded, Where to Stay, Eat, and Play in the USA and Canada
Whether you're headed to a circuit party or on a business trip, Fodor's Gay Guide USA is the ultimate source for what's where and what's gay. In this

well as the Canadian cities of Toronto, Quebec, Montreal, and Vancouver.
The book is organized geographically by region for easy use and each city or town entry includes a section on The Lay of the Land; Eats; Scenes- for
both men and women; Sleeps; and The Little Black Book which lists additional resources including media, bookstores, gyms, etc. The book offers
lodging and dining options in all price ranges. Information is provided for every segment of the community including both exclusively gay resorts and
beaches to mainstream hotels and nightlife. Also included throughout the book are over 50 helpful maps for navigating.

Access Gay USA takes gay and lesbian travelers to where the hottest dance clubs are, to bars at which to meet "compatible people," and to sights
that pay homage to queer culture. You won't find information on the Statue of Liberty, for example, but you will learn that the permanent collection
at the Whitney Museum includes "not-exactly-straight artists like Jasper Johns" and that it occasionally features gay-oriented exhibits. Each of
the 23 cities--from Atlanta to Washington, D.C.--is introduced with a rundown on its gay culture and political climate (stay away from Atlanta's
Cobb County suburb, which in 1993 passed an antihomosexual resolution).
After brief coverage of transportation options, the authors delve into the heart of the guide: write-ups of gay- and lesbian-friendly restaurants, clubs,
and shops, as well as outdoor activities, hotels, and sights and culture. Feel like dancing the night away while in New Orleans? Rubyfruit Jungle "is
definitely where the girls are--though the high-tech dance floor, 80-foot copper bar, pool tables, and (occasionally fabulous) live music also bring in
some gay guys and a few hip straights." Need a place to stay in Seattle? Try the museum-like Shafer-Baillie Mansion on Capitol Hill, which is "popular
with discerning homosexuals."
Color-coded text and maps make it easy to find what you're looking for and where it's located. Take along a supplementary guide for directions to
mainstream sights, but rely on Access Gay USA for useful, accurate information on gay culture in the cities you visit.
