Why Go: This notoriously “hippie” college town in the Hudson Valley already has a thriving gay community. Whether traveling with a pack of friends or taking their partner for a romantic escape, visitors are now finding Upstate New York to be a convenient and memorable gay-friendly destination. Popular upstate hotspots like Lake Placid, the Catskills, and Finger Lakes are seeing new highs in the “pink dollar”-so much that luxury resorts are catering specifically to the LGBT traveler with themed packages in hopes of voicing their acceptance.Įven gay-owned establishments (from bed & breakfasts to gay bars) are seeing more out-of-towners who want to immerse themselves in star-speckled night skies, farm-to-table restaurants, sprawling landscapes, and a burgeoning LGBT community. And the Big Apple isn’t the only place they’re heading. Since it became legal for same-sex couples to get married in the state of New York (and hopefully will be in more states soon, given President Obama’s statement of support of same-sex marriage today), gay couples have been flocking over in record numbers to get hitched, and even honeymoon there.
