Christopher Street Pier
If you're not a boy and you're not gay, this should not be your go-to spot for some time in the sun. There are plenty of other piers, parks and grassy areas along the Hudson River. Let's preserve the unspoken code that Christopher Street Pier is chiefly for boys checking out other boys' Equinox-toned bodies. In the wake of last summer, there were lingering complaints of overcrowded afternoons with too much hetero PDA couples and bikini clad girl squads. Our advice? Find another grassy knoll to get your tan on.
