Best New York City Gay Bars -- Nominate Your Favorite

It has been a while since I put together our Best New York City Gay Bars list with the help of some expert advisors who had spent plenty of hours and dollars at gay bars all over town.

Those picks have since gotten stale. This is New York, after all, and it's hard for any bar to rank among the best for long.

So I am updating the list. And this time, I want to open up the voting to a bigger group of experts. I want your nominations for the Best New York City Gay Bars.

Please submit your nominations via blog comment or email. Tell me which is the Best New York City Gay Bar and why. And tell me if you're open to being quoted in the article (if you'd rather remain anonymous, that's cool too).

And ladies, please nominate your picks for Best New York Lesbian Bar as well. I think New York's lesbian bars deserve their own list, but I need your unbiased reviews to put together the ultimate ranking.

Come on, people. This is your chance to show your skills as a nightlife reviewer. I want to hear about which bars are overrated or just plain over, which spots are undiscovered gems, and which are worth the hype.

Your brilliant insights are greatly appreciated.
