Here are some of our favorites, not in any particular order. Even with the many closings, there is still plenty out there if you love a good meal and want to support LGBTQ businesses and chefs.
Likewise for MeMe’s Diner in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. Prune on the Lower East Side, owned by Chef Gabrielle Hamilton, has closed. Longtime community favorites have closed. The past year had not been kind to many in our community. When we can combine food exploration with supporting LGBTQ owners and chefs, it’s a double delight. At the same time, we also have a lot of tried and true favorites in the city that we go to over and over again. We love unique eating experiences - whether it’s street food like the incredible offerings at Smorgasburg in Williamsburg or a dive with great burgers or a small unknown restaurant in one of the boroughs.
