Island House: Key West

The Ice Palace: Fire Island

Underwear parties! Erotic art fairs! Liza Minnelli! The Ice Palace, a legendary Fire Island fixture and the oldest gay disco in the United States, felt like the perfect excuse to reach out to NYC gay nightlife impresario Daniel Nardicio (who heads up the programming) and talk about all things Fire Island. Our discussion is fun, informative, a little raunchy, and will help you plan your next visit. Summer is upon us; it's time to head to Fire Island!

Misterbandb

What if there was an Airbnb for queer people? Wait a minute... there is! Misterbandb is a home-sharing site devoted entirely to the LGBTQ community (though gay men are its primary focus). Similar to Airbnb, it offers a completely different experience than a traditional hotel including knowledgeable and local hosts who are part of the queer community and guide you toward the best places to visit in their hometown. Plus, you can select for amenities like hot tub, free parking, swimming pool, breakfast included, dedicated workspace, clothing optional, and more. But what's it really like to stay with a gay host and is this just a hook up site? (Spoiler: It isn't.) In this episode of Best Gaycation Ever I sit down with two experienced hosts and we talk about all things Misterbandb. Enjoy! Follow me on Instagram at @iamhomotel for updates and more.

Atlantis Gay Cruises

Anchors away! On this latest episode of Best Gaycation Ever we discuss one of the most iconic queer vacations you can take—an Atlantis gay cruise! These floating gay villages deliver travelers to exotic ports around the globe while offering a (mostly) all-inclusive vacation onboard the ship that includes numerous restaurants, swimming pools, headlining entertainment, a spa, a casino, daily parties, drag shows, piano bars, and so much more. It's a week of sun, sex and Speedos and a vacation you have to take at least once. Whether you're an Atlantis fanatic or a first-time cruiser, join me and fellow sea man Winston Conklin as we sail the seas and discuss all things Atlantis.
