| New Orleans, Louisiana |

| Though New Orleans was devastated by hurricane Katrina it's coming back bigger and better than ever. Also good news is, it's coming back gayer than ever too! The lavendar line is growing. The lavendar line is where the gay section of the French Quarter typically begins. It's at St. Louis street, however more gay hotspots are moving even further past the lavendar line. When it comes to partying you can't beat Bourbon Street and there is a huge gay presence on bourbon street and the areas around it. New Orleans is a beautiful city perfect for welcoming visitors. Wheter it's a stroll along the Mississippi, shopping along Royal or Magazine streets, dining at some of the best restuarants in the world, or partying all night in clubs with half naked guys you're sure to have a blast. Some of the can't miss gay hotspots are Bourbon Pub/Parade, OZ, Hit Parade, The Phoenix, Cafe Lafitte in Exile, Cowpokes, Good Friends Bar, Rawhide 2010, and The Corner Pocket. Just to name a few. This year southern decadence is back and better than ever, also a new festival in conjunction will be deca fest, don't miss the labor day weekend fun each year! Whether you plan on living in or visiting New Orleans, you won't be disappointed in this gay city. |
| Our Top hot Spot: |
| The Scoop: |
| Our New Orleans top hot spot is Bourbon Pub/Parade. From getting a good drink and watching videos downstairs in Bourbon Pub, to dancing with hot men upstairs in Parade, this 24 hour gay mecca won't dissappoint. Dance the night away on the huge Parade dance floor, then get another drink and cool off on the balcony looking out on the greatest party street in the world. www.bourbonpub.com |
| Best Special Event: |
| Our top pick for the special event of the year in New Orleans is by far Southern Decadence. It's the Gay Mardi Gras and is the top gay Labor Day weekend event in the world. With 100,000 gay and lesbian people descending on the festival each year you're sure to find plenty of action. Events include street parties, dances, drag shows, a parade, and more suggestive events also. The epicenter is the corner of Bourbon and St. Ann streets. www.southerndecadence.net |

| Atlanta, Georgia |
| There's a reason Atlanta is also known as Hotlanta. There is no shortage of hot boys in the cosmo city. Midtown Atlanta is one of the South's gay hubs. Everyday in Piedmont Park there is a chance to find great gay men walking their dogs or jogging,with the Atlanta skyline as a beautiful backdrop. Perhaps the best thing about gay Atlanta are the gay oriented restuarants. They are a long list including Joe's on Juniper, Einstien's, Cowtippers, The Red Chair, and Nickiemoto's. At the corner of Piedmont and Monroe, you'll find the center of gay Atlanta. Make sure to stop at outwrite, a great gay bookstore, and coffee at Caribou coffee. Also at the corner you'll find Nikiemoto's has an excellent drag how every Monday night. If nightlife is your scene, it's a little harder with the strict liquor laws, but Jungle and Wetbar are not to be missed! |
