A Letter...
Greetings... from the NGLCCNY Welcome to our city, one of the most inclusive and embracing cities in North America, where our history is steeped in the social movements to advocate full acceptance for the LGBT community throughout society! Although there is no one organization that represents all LGBT people and their interests, many have their roots right here in New York, where the focus is on social- and cultural-equality, political activism, and economic development. One such organization, the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce New York (NGLCCNY), wwwNGLCCNY.org, provides valuable business development opportunities, financial access and educational resources to LGBT and allied businesses in the New York Metro area. As the official Metro New York affiliate chamber, NGLCCNY is the voice of thousands of LGBTowned businesses and actively promotes and creates supplier diversity and procurement opportunities for its growing base of corporate partners and business members. Whether you are a visitor or resident, we invite you to participate in our activities and search our Business Directory for services or products provided by LGBT and allied business and corporate members. It is through your engagement, and economic power, that we strengthen our LGBT community, one dollar at a time. Again, our members and corporate partners would like to thank you for your patronage, and welcome you to New York City! Enjoy your time here!
from the Executive Director Welcome to New York, the most vibrant city on earth! No trip to New York City is complete without a stop at The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center. For over 30 years, The Center has provided quality health and wellness programs in a welcoming space that fosters connections and celebrates our cultural contributions. We are located at 208 W 13 Street, and we serve as a lifeline for the LGBT community, providing information, resources and support, 365 days a year. At The Center, we strive to serve the LGBT community with a fullservice, multi-faceted approach to programming, from hosting arts and entertainment events, advocacy groups and family gatherings to offering youth, recovery and overall wellness programs. Our staff members are here to provide information to help plan your visit, including the latest on events, workshops, meetings and activities. Each year, The Center welcomes more than 300,000 visits to our building in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan. We hope you will make The Center your first stop as the gateway to access all that NYC’s LGBT community has to offer. To learn more about our work, please visit www.gaycenter.org. We look forward to welcoming you! Sincerely,
Glennda Testone Executive Director, The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center

New York City Overview
Welcome... from the Publisher I take great pride in publishing the NYC FunMap® to guide you in your travels to and within this wonderful tourist mecca and business community. The City offers the finest in accommodations, dining, nightlife, shopping and attractions. Check out the different diverse neighborhoods that the city offers and enjoy the ever-changing scene. Gay life can be found all over the city, especially in Chelsea, Greenwich Village and Hells Kitchen, which still provide some of the best areas to check in and check out the fun and all that the neighborhoods have to offer. The NYC FunMap® and www.gayosphere.com, the companion web site, will help you “figure it out” and allow you to be “out” there. The museums, attractions and events that the city offers can keep you busy every day & night. Check the list in FunMaps®. A weekend trip to Fire Island will refresh your senses. Long walks on the beach, a swim in the ocean, relaxing in a hottub or partying at the clubs will take you away from it all. A new Harlem FunMap, published in June 2014, will add to the neighborhoods to explore. See you in NYC for the time of your life. Sincerely,
32
