Spend the weekend at the friendly Grove Hotel, located in the very heart of gay Cherry Grove, central to the best that Fire Island has to offer. Only steps away are the beach, restaurants, shops, dance clubs and bars, catering to your every whim so you can play and relax!






During the day, catch some rays while lounging on the sundeck before cooling off in the 30' by 60' swimming pool before heading off to Fire Island's beautiful sandy beach, full of gay men. Later, return to the Grove Hotel to chill at the bar with a cool, refreshing iced blender drink, or shoot a game of pool. In the evening, explore Fire Island's restaurants, bars and dance clubs, or heat it up at the Ice Palace, the Grove Hotel's very own dance club and lounge.

Saturday afternoon, enjoy a fully catered poolside barbecue lunch exclusively for the guys from Urban Outings. Lunch is served complete with hamburgers, hotdogs, soup, salad and a variety of summer goodies, as well as a complimentary cocktail!

About Cherry Grove
Less than 1/2 mile wide and 1 mile long, Cherry Grove has an unmatched charm. As you wander the boardwalks of The Grove, discover lush tunnels of entwined greenery and houses as whimsical as its residents. If you're feeling adventurous, explore the mazes of the neighboring meat-rack on your way to the Pines, a mostly gay men's residential community that also offers exciting nightlife. For a more serene setting, follow one of the trails in the beautiful Sunken Forest, a natural marshy sanctuary of the National Seashore and home to a rich variety of animal and plant life.

Accommodations
The hotel features Pool and Sundeck with stunning views. Hotel rooms are all the same cozy size, all with private bathrooms, carpeting, mirrors, large windows, tables and chairs, and a personal safe.

Transportation
The event host will meet the group at 3:00pm each Friday at Penn Station in Manhattan, NYC. Together, the group will make the easy trip out to Fire Island by way of the Long Island Rail Road from Manhattan to Sayville, the shuttle van from Sayville to the ferry, and the ferry from Sayville to Cherry Grove. Transportation is approximately $27 round-trip. You also have the option of making your own travel arrangements to arrive in Cherry Grove on your own earlier or later in the day.
