Drink Pink

Last time we traveled to the equator, it was on a gay cruise to a tiny island that was so hot we thought our Speedo was going to spontaneously combust. How great it would have been to have a tall glass of Zhumir Pink to quench our thirst. If only we’d known we were so close, yet so far, from […]

Bubble Your Pleasure

Whether you’re celebrating the end of the world next week or you think we’ll still be around for New Year’s Eve, nothing is better for marking important occasions than a cold bottle of bubbly. Sure, Champagne is nice, but we typically prefer something less expensive. Because less expensive equals larger quantities. But a cheaper bottle of bubbles doesn’t necessarily mean […]

‘Tis The Seasonal

When it comes to breasts, we prefer veal vs. fake. And at Central 214, where they’ve just launched an inventive seasonal menu, we get our wish. But don’t jump to the main courses quite so fast. Start off with a warm Mulled Shine Wine. From beautiful master bartender Amber West, wine and moonshine combine with cinnamon, star anise, clove, orange […]

Holly Jolly Tamales

Forget about those ten acrobatic lords, eight lactating maids or that pheasant in the fruit tree. It’s time for the 12 Days of Tamales! For millions of Texans (us included), tamales are a huge part of the holiday season. But making them from scratch can take an entire day and cause more family drama than the time we brought home […]

Brunch Of The Month: Something Thick This Way Comes

After approximately 200 brunches (and 60 Brunches of the Month) under our belts (literally) since the inception of Gay List Daily five years ago, it takes a lot more than a $2 bottomless Mimosa and 50¢ Bloody Marys to impress us. (But if you find some place that serves either of those that cheaply, please let us know!) We’re used […]

Sugar & Spice, Intoxicatingly Nice

  Drink your dessert, Shelby. Chewing your calories is sooooo 2009. Luckily, there are some truly decadent flavored vodkas that will satisfy all your sugary cravings and sweeten up any holiday gathering. Except, of course, those involving lawyers, cops and department store security guards making accusations of shoplifting $3,200 worth of low-rise briefs and scented candles. (Trust us, even though […]

Halfy Hour

When’s the last time you spent two full hours in complete and utter ecstasy – with your clothes on? We’ve got a suggestion. It happens every weekday at Private Social from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. For 120 minutes, indulge in the ultimate happy-hour ménage à trois as Top Chef Tiffany Derry and principal barman Rocco Milano make sweet, sweet […]

Preemptive Strike

Your New Year’s Resolutions are more than a month away, but we can already tell you what they’re going to be. 1. Eat healthy. 2. Exercise more. 3. Hook up with hotter guys. But after a month of scarfing down pounds of cookies and gallons of eggnog while wrapped in a Snuggie on the sofa watching Charlie Brown specials, those […]

Royal Gorge

Eating, drinking and being Marys is what Gay Thanksgiving is all about. It’s the one day a year when we can eat whatever we want without a single thought of the gym. (Except maybe that one really hot guy we occasionally stalk see in the locker room.) And after scouring through dozens of press releases and visiting even more of […]

Brunch Of The Month: French Twist

Most people mistakenly think the word brunch is a combination of the words “breakfast” and “lunch.” But most people would be wrong. If you dig deep into the word’s etymology, you will discover that brunch is really a slang term for brutishly French because back in the days of the Napoleonic Wars, soldiers prepared for daily battle with a strict […]
