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
