Cubbyhole is atmospheric and an ideal place to start if you’re looking to explore New York’s lesbian scene. There’s a JukeBox and the drinks are well priced by NYC standards.

Known as a Brooklyn landmark in its own right, Ginger’s Bar welcomes a diverse clientele but mostly caters to Brooklyn’s lesbian scene in Park Slope.
