As the bear culture continues to rise and be more prevalent as time goes by, we are consistently flooded with images, videos and more of guys who we consider to be handsome, hot and any other adjective to describe how attracted we are to them in the media world today. Whether they are melting our hearts on the big and small screen, producing some sweet jams for us to enjoy, or doing big things in the LGBT community that is strengthening our presence there as well, they are all doing something right to keep our heart rates going.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
