From apple picking and planetarium shows to chocolate and conversation nights, we've redefined what it means to be social as gay men in NJ & NY.

We're not about large crowds, excessive drinking, or shallow vibes. While drinks are available, our events focus on authentic connection, shared values, and lasting friendships.

🛑 We're also not a space for men in straight marriages seeking secrets.
This is a safe, respectful space for open and honest gay men only — and proud of it.

"What I love about Garden State Gay Socials is that I don't have to pretend. I've made real friends here, and that's rare." — Mike D., Hoboken, NJ
