While New York has the most lesbian bars in the country, with three female-owned establishments - Henrietta Hudson and Cubbyhole, both in Manhattan’s East Village, and Ginger’s, based in Brooklyn - the number pales in comparison to the 40 gay bars for men currently listed on the travel site Ga圜ities. But the lesbian bar, often owned and run by women, is slowly leaving the nightlife scene in cities across the country. The slogan “Moving Made Easier” is plastered across steel-ridged walls in the parking lot, empty red-and-white trailers line up in processional rows, auguring a sense of transition and impermanence.Ĭoincidence? Probably. A block away from Ginger’s, one of the last standing lesbian bars in New York, is a massive U-Haul facility.
