Head Out East and Check Into The Wells House Bed & Breakfast
As someone who is a native Long Islander that splits their time between New York City and the Island of Long, I am always scoping out for different places to eat or stay in an effort to convince the jaded Manhattanites to get out of their concrete jungle for a weekend and experience the beauty that is our humble abode. Whether you like a great steakhouse, a comfortable luxury hotel, or anything of the sort, we have you covered. One that I just discovered that you must take a trip out and see for yourself is The Wells House Bed & Breakfast, located at the end of Long Island in the beautiful town of Greenport.

BearsCubsNBeards- The Red Hot IG Account You Should Follow
As someone who has grass roots when it comes to building a business like Manhattan Digest, I am always ecstatic and happy to feature other gay men who are doing the same with their own business. It is an even bigger thrill when the business itself doesn’t shame in any body type or image in the entirety of its community, something that certain businesses pride themselves on when it comes to excluding people based on a variety of things that sometimes they can’t help. A great example of this type of positivity and inclusiveness is the fantastic Instagram account of BearsCubsnBeards, which is run by the equally delightful Stephen Blyth.

RuPaul’s Drag Race Top 10 Turnt Up Runway Looks of All Time
Our favorite show on television to kiki about on Manhattan Digest is of course RuPaul’s Drag Race. Tonight is another sickening episode, where the cast of Little Women: LA join the seven remaining girls to do their interpretation of “The Wizard Of Oz”, with special guest Marc Jacobs and not so special guest Todrick Hall (sorry, not really. I don’t get his appeal). It is going to be another night of amazing looks on the runway, which brings us to another great Top 10 list of who we think had the most gag-worthly looks over the past eight seasons of RPDR.

Prime in Huntington Boasts Elegance, Decor & Delicious Cuisine
Manhattan is known for having some of the best cuisine in the world, but it has some serious rivals out east in Long Island as well. Long Island has so much to offer outside of its wonderful beaches, best bagels in the world and icons from Mariah Carey to Billy Joel. In fact, our food scene is pretty phenomenal, especially in Huntington Village, where high-end locations reign supreme and people from all over the island flock to them. One of those locations is called Prime, a spot for the best surf & turf in New York with an ambiance that is unparalleled in its region.
