Product Description
From Amazon
If you're looking for an objective guide to New York City, you won't find it in Betty & Pansy's Severe Queer Review of New York. What you will find becomes clear on the very first page: "New York City, as you already know, is totally fun, fast, dirty and completely messed up, which we discovered the hard way when we arrived all alone and virginal. Once we were worn down, used up and permanently embittered, we wrote this book as a warning to those who might come after us.... " It should be apparent by now that Betty and Pansy are not your average travel writers. As they themselves caution, "Some of you may not agree with us, but we are forced by our natures to call them as we see them (and to leave 'em where God flung 'em). So bear that in mind."
In the Severe Queer Review of New York, gay and lesbian travelers will find a comprehensive guide to bars, clubs, restaurants, favorite cruising areas, and other attractions, all described in Betty and Pansy's inimitable style. A description of the Wall Street Sauna, for example, says "At first I wondered if a nudist colony and an old-age home had collided, and then a bathhouse had been built around the accident site.... "For the skinny on New York's best gay and lesbian hangouts, trust Betty and Pansy--they won't steer you wrong. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Betty and Pansy's Severe Queer Review Of New York (Paperback)
I was amazed and amused to find this book for sale and I immediately purchased it (used book). I'm afraid that since it's been years since this edition has been out, that things will no longer be the same as Betty and Pansy found them. Things change fast in the demi-monde, especially when out-of-state tourists like me come looking for what they found in the book. So, I wonder what there will be left to find ... I haven't been to NY yet to look up any of these sights so eventually I will be there looking. Hope there are some nice attractions left. By the way I am PROUD to be QUEER!!! and don't care who knows it.
