Everyone likes to make out in public now and again, but for lesbians, just holding hands garners sleazy stares that makes any small act of affection seem more like a preview for a soft-porn flick on Cinemax. The always gay Christopher Street Pier in Hudson River Park provides queer teens (and adults who don't mind their noisy antics) with a safe haven to get their grope on—it's been this way since the '70s. Plush grass is perfect for "lay-me-down" fun, while the lengthy boardwalk provides romantic Hudson views and secluded seating for plenty of PG-13 nookie. It gets even saucier after dark, where queer lovers can throw any iota of caution to the wind and let their hands roam free under the dim light of the moon.
