Patricia Bar/Club in Stockholm
***** "You've got to go"
First to Review - August 16, 2009
The Patricia is the end all be all in Stockholm. Party like a real Swede on the dance floor and come up for air to mingle and meet the handsome boys on both sides of the boat. Be sure to take your disco nap so you can climb up to the roof and watch the sun rise with all of your new friends. Just remember...even though the sun has risen the night is still young.

Grand Hotel Hotel in Stockholm
***** Greta Garbo eat your heart out.
First to Review - August 16, 2009 - Visited: August 2009
The bellhop opened the door and I gasped at what I saw...the perfect hotel. Everything is just right at the Grand Hotel: a room with a view in a hotel that seems to jump right out of the Golden Age and has literally broken the mold.

Hilton Stockholm Slussen Hotel in Stockholm
***** Great if you're going to the Patricia!
First to Review - August 16, 2009 - Visited: August 2009
This hotel is so close to the Patricia, it's a great place to stay if you plan on staying out late at the weekly gay party. Something different seems to be going on every night at the Hilton Slussen.

Renaissance Chancery Court Hotel in London
***** Love this hotel.
First to Review - August 16, 2009 - Visited: August 2009
You've got to check out the Renaissance Chancery Court. Sample modern French dishes in the hotel's gorgeous Pearl Restaurant & Bar and book a heavenly massage in the Spa to work out all of those kinks from strolling through Covent Garden and the West End. Be sure to stroll down the glamorous marble staircase (you're bound to recognize these steps, they're the setting for all kinds of movies, commercials, ads and more).

New York Theatre Workshop Institution in New York
***** I can't get enough
First to Review - August 16, 2009 - Visited: August 2009
You can never go wrong with an evening at NYTW. Funky location, gorgeous interior, clever and intelligent productions by people like Alan Ball, Caryl Churchill, & Paul Rudnick and innovative directors like Ivo van Hove, Anne Bogart, & Stephen Daldry. NYTW reaches out to the GLBT community not only with Rent but also because of plays like the Five Lesbian Brothers' production of Oedipus at Palm Springs, Amy Freed's The Beard of Avon, Valhalla, and the adaptation of Michael Cunningham's Flesh and Blood. NYTW is here for everyone: to challenge and encourage the fire within each of us.

Tea and Sympathy Restaurant in New York
***** The best hangover cure.
First to Review - August 16, 2009 - Visited: August 2009
Crumpets and tea, bangers and mash, puddings, and delicious finger sandwiches? Sounds like a hangover cure to me. Stay up late, sleep in, and head down to Tea & Sympathy for a little nosh to kick your hangover to the curb.

Top Shop/Top Man Shop in New York
***** Love it.
Posted: August 16, 2009 - Visited: August 2009
Finally finally finally! I've had to hop to the other side of the pond for years in order to get my fix. Thank you Kate Moss for bringing the goods over here. The mens stuff is all downstairs with a great selection of fashionable clothes and accessories.

Primary Stages Institution in New York
***** Love it
First to Review - August 07, 2009 - Visited: August 2009
I just saw the new Cusi Cram show tonight (A Lifetime Burning, featuring Jennifer Westfeldt of Kissing Jessica Stein) and it ROCKED. PSST has some really great classes coming up also: http://www.primarystages.org/school-of-theater From top notch shows to nurturing young artists, this company is really on the ball!

Who thought eating in prison would be so good? Grab a cocktail downstairs after supper.

Copenhagen Admiral Hotel Hotel in Copenhagen
***** arr matey
Posted: July 09, 2009 - Visited: June 2009
This place is the real deal. From the massive ship models to the incredible wooden beams crossing through the rooms, The Copenhagen Admiral Hotel will make you feel like you are staying in a place like no other. The staff in the restaurant is beyond friendly and the view from each room is unique and breathtaking.

***** Unreal

Walt Disney was so inspired by Tivoli he decided to build Walt Disney World. If you go you'll see why.

Oscar Bar Café Bar/Club in Copenhagen
***** Begin and end your night here
First to Review - July 04, 2009
This is the best place in Copenhagen to start your evening and go back to when things slow down elsewhere. The tables out front are perfect for people watching and the crowd spills out onto the street quickly. The bartenders take forever to get to you but it's okay, there's plenty of eye candy to keep you occupied while you wait.

Jailhouse Bar/Club in Copenhagen
***** Above and Beyond
Posted: July 04, 2009
Everyone at Jailhouse goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure guests have a good time. Dinner upstairs is delicious and the company downstairs at the bar is tons of fun.

Hotel Mercurio Hotel in Puerto Vallarta
***** The Best
Posted: June 07, 2009 - Visited: May 2009
Hotel Mercurio is such a wonderful PV option. My boyfriend and I called it the "Melrose Place" of Mexico with it's cute court pool and comfortable lodgings. The staff is friendly and beyond informative, the courtyard bar is a fun place to grab a drink before you go out, and the rooms are clean and well maintained.

ME by Melia Madrid Hotel in Madrid
***** Look No Further
First to Review - May 12, 2009 - Visited: July 2008
I felt like J Lo when I walked into the lobby of the ME by Melia Madrid. Killer lobby, amazing staff, ridiculously posh rooms and a rooftop bar you better on the guest list for (you don't want to miss the view...or their signature black mojito)

Pio Pio Salon Restaurant in New York
***** Amazing
First to Review - April 20, 2009 - Visited: March 2009
This is one of the best restaurants in New York, hands down. If you haven't had Peruvian food you are going to CRAVE it after dinner at Pio Pio.
