Weeknights and weekends meld together in the sweltering heat, giving us plenty of opportunities to devour and drink our away around the city. So, we’ve curated a rare must-try Queer-owned and/or-operated restaurants in the city. Whether you’re looking for the perfect brunch spot or a memorable nightcap, this guide is a wonderful way to fuel up or wind down your Pride month activities.

We also have to add that while it’s fun to explore Queer-owned or -led businesses during Pride, it’s especially important to help them throughout the year. Not only do these restaurants offer outstanding sustenance and drinks, but they provide an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.

Out Late: Empanada Mama's flagship restaurant is the hottest gay bar in the city

“Out Late” is Day Out’s nightlife and party column by DJ, Whorechata founder, and Staff Journalist Ian Kumamoto, which publishes every other Tuesday. The previous edition highlighted Whorechata’s sold-out anniversary party.

In my nearly 10 years of living in New York, I haven’t found any business that encapsulates the essence of gay New York excel than an empanada shop that has outlived a global pandemic, a fire, and many of its lgbtq+ neighbors—including a multi-story homosexual club (R.I.P., The Q) and a fantastically chaotic two-story bar (miss you, Bottoms Up).

But located on the corner of 9th Avenue between 51st and 52nd Streets lies a restaurant that stands as a fortress of queer hope. If you’re a gay person in New York who goes out, you probably know exactly what I’m talking about—if you’re not, I’m referring to the flagship Empanada Mama, my modern-day Stonewall.
