news is, it's coming back gayer than ever too! The lavendar line is growing. The lavendar line is where the gay section
of the French Quarter typically begins. It's at St. Louis street, however more gay hotspots are moving even further past
the lavendar line. When it comes to partying you can't beat Bourbon Street and there is a huge gay presence on
bourbon street and the areas around it. New Orleans is a beautiful city perfect for welcoming visitors. Wheter it's a stroll
along the Mississippi, shopping along Royal or Magazine streets, dining at some of the best restuarants in the world, or

Atlanta,
Georgia
The Scoop:
There's a reason Atlanta is also known as Hotlanta. There is no shortage of hot boys in the cosmo city. Midtown Atlanta
is one of the South's gay hubs. Everyday in Piedmont Park there is a chance to find great gay men walking their dogs
or jogging,with the Atlanta skyline as a beautiful backdrop. Perhaps the best thing about gay Atlanta are the gay
oriented restuarants. They are a long list including Joe's on Juniper, Einstien's, Cowtippers, The Red Chair, and
Nickiemoto's. At the corner of Piedmont and Monroe, you'll find the center of gay Atlanta. Make sure to stop at outwrite,
a great gay bookstore, and coffee at Caribou coffee. Also at the corner you'll find Nikiemoto's has an excellent drag
how every Monday night. If nightlife is your scene, it's a little harder with the strict liquor laws, but Jungle and Wetbar
are not to be missed!
Our Top hot Spot:
Wetbar is our top hot spot pick for Atlanta. From the beautiful courtyard in the back to the hot boys dancing on the
huge floor it's a must visit in Atlanta. Great dj's and great drinks combine for amazing evenings. There's always a boy
waiting for you at wetbar. www.wetbaratlanta.com
Best Special Event:
Our top pick for the best special event is the same as most of our cities that we feature. Pride! Each June a huge
parade rolls down the streets entertaining huge crowds. After the parade Piedmont Park comes alive with dozens of
vendors and entertainment, not to mention hot boys. www.new.atlantapride.org
