Out NYC Complex: Urban Gay Retreat Planned For 42nd Street

Urban Gay Retreat Planned For 42nd Street

As Republicans in disguise no doubt skulk around the halls trying to recruit them, gays from all over the place will converge on a Travelodge-turned-Red-Cross-homeless-shelter on 42nd Street, which managing partner Ian Reisner and company are turning into "a gay urban resort" with the word "out" spelled by its windows...

The Out NYC complex--scheduled for next fall--will include the Axel Hotel (part of a world chain), stores, a café, a restaurant, a shiny new club called the xl Dance Bar, and everything else but a bookstore. The creators want to pack gays upon gays together for eating, drinking, shopping, and sleeping (together, if possible), but the place is also admittedly "hetero-friendly," and that's a good thing; otherwise, it might be totally illegal.
