Saunen & Cruising in New York

Finding a gay sauna in New York City is more difficult than in many major European cities. Stricter regulations and a change in nightlife have thinned out the classic bathhouse scene over the years, so that the city now has significantly fewer addresses than Berlin or Amsterdam, for example. If you are looking for a sauna, steam bath and cruising atmosphere, you should find out which houses are currently open before the trip, as the offer has shifted again and again over the years.

A large part of what the sauna covers elsewhere is taken over by the sex and cruising bars in New York, especially in the trendy districts of Manhattan. Many of these shops have fixed theme evenings and a changing programme, which is why it is worth taking a look at the current opening hours. Also, pay attention to whether a restaurant is more party-oriented or clearly geared towards cruising, because both are often close together. Because the offer and addresses in this area change more often than with bars or hotels, it is best to check the topicality and concept directly on site or via the respective website. The following tips will give you a first orientation for your evening.
