Lesbian hangouts in NYC

2011-07-03T19:31:00.002-04:00

Everyone likes to hang out somewhere they feel at ease . Where they find people with similar interests. I myself would love to find a place where I can hang out with other girls and not have to wonder if they are a lesbian or not.

However in New York City, It is kind of hard to do that if you are not 21 and over. I mean some clubs will let you slide if your 20 or if you're wearing a really tight dress but for the most part they are really strict. And I want to go ahead and say that from my experience , the lesbian spots are harder to get in to.

Sorry underage Ladies

But if you are of age and are 21 I know a couple of places that you can go to and have a great time. You can possibly meet a girl for just the night or someone a little more permanent.

Henrietta Hudson is said to be one of the most popular lesbian hangouts in New York. Located in bar & girl

438 Hudson Street @ Morton St. New York, NY 10014

This place is great for singles and couples

They have the bar during the day where you can dress pretty comfortably. When the night comes though, they have a strict no headwear rule. They are also pretty selective at the door. I mean I managed t snuck in one night. The bouncer was in a good mood i guess ( or my dress was short enough). Regardless , it was a once in a million opportunity so be really cautious if you want to take that chance.

Well anyway they are good for HAPPY HOUR. I know how much people love the sound of that. according to their website, they have over 30 hours worth of happy hour. Damn , that alone would have me sold.

HAPPY HOURS DAILY:

Monday 5-7pm
Tuesday 5-7pm
Wednesday 4-8pm
TWISTED Thursday 4- MIDNITE
Friday 4-7pm
Saturday 2-7pm
Sunday 2-9pm

(**THAT’s over 30 hours in your WEEK)

Also according to their website they are good for hookups, body shots, one night stands and other things like that. I think that its great because you can go for some harmless fun. Some bars are only for mature older people looking to get married. ( WE CAN DO THAT NOW IN NYC).

Anyway, I dont know about you but as yound as I am, I want to have some fun after a long week of hard work. I dont need someone who is going to expect a ring out of me in a couple of weeks.

I couldn't get much on Henrietta Hudson but maybe this video will interest you.

Well I will be posting more clubs and such. but I'm gone for now

I love to draw. I think I'm good at it.

I like to draw cartoons when I'm bored. I never got anyone to criticize them though. So i guess by posting them here, I can get some FeedBack . I appreciate any kind of comments at all.

One Day I just woke up and I was super duper bored, So posted on facebook that I would draw any cartoon that people asked me too and thats how I came to do these

Donald duck is just an awesome guy. I always confuse him for a Looney Tunes Character. Hmm Weird

I have never really heard of Pikachu until the day i drew him. i know I had to google that image instead of doing it from memory

This was requested by my bestfriend. She is awesome and She is obsessed with Winnie

Not much to say about him except that he Lovvvesss his lasagna

My favorite character in the whole wide world.... He is just awesome

Tinkerbell.

It's just not easy

I'm sure you can agree when I say that being a Lesbian is not easy. I mean you would think that after all these women in history fought for our rights that we would have total freedom. Its not the case at all. At least it is not the case for me personally. I guess I'm here to advocate for anyone else but myself as I am in no position to know what everyone goes though in their daily lives.

With that said.

I thought that being a lesbian in New York City would be easy. It is one of the most gay friendly places I know. Just the other day when I rejected a guy and told him the reason why I wasn't interested in him, He spewed crap such as rug muncher and dyke at me. I mean it doesn't really offend me but I was kind of shocked that he was this upset. I thought he would be happy that it wasn't because he smelled like he had been doused in cat pee.

Oh and I do have a little complaint with the fact that there is no decent lesbian hangout unless you are 21+ . How about the 18+ or 19 in my case. What are we supposed to roam the straight clubs forever in desperate hopes of finding a hot girl and hoping that she "swings your way" .

THE PROBLEMS WITH THAT ARE:
1.) There is only a 50% chance that she is into girls
2.) She might a "bar lesbian" , you know the kind , the ones who only like girls when they had enough cranberry vodka in their system.

Other times, when I tell people I am a lesbian , they either assume that I am a slut and easy, or that I am going through a phase. It makes me laugh but it is also sad. "who is to blame for these stereotypes".

College

Yes I said it, Don't act like you weren't thinking it. I've met so many "lesbian until graduation" girls that it makes me sick. I know a girl who when sober almost despises lesbians. Three tequila shots later and you would think she's straight out of the L word.
Girls like that make me sick.

Well I am out of things to say for now.

Until next time,
