Accessibility

Boyfriend Co-Op is located off the M + J trains and the B46 + B47 + B54 + B15 busses.

Boyfriend’s door/entrance and bathroom are both wheelchair accessible! Here is the venue’s ADA statement they have very kindly provided to us:

“The venue is fully ADA compliant, including step-free entry and an accessible restroom. There are no stairs on-site. Masks will be available upon request to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety.”

High-filtration masks/respirators (KN95 or better) will be required and provided for all attendees. This is a cafe/bar, so there will be drinks available. Since this is a CC event, we expect folks to keep their masks on while not drinking. Unfortunately we cannot require non market patrons of the bar to mask, so please feel free to stay home if that is too high risk for you. If you are feeling sick (even if you don’t think it’s COVID), have recently been exposed, or in a high-risk situation, we ask that you please stay home! This is how we keep each other safe.

Vendors

We will have a handful of local lesbian vendors at this event! Vendor lineup TBA. :)
