Vaseline Alley

With a name like Vaseline Alley, there’s no way this iconic LA cruising area could be left off Sniffies’ list of top cruising locations.

Locals on the Sniffies map note that while the foliage near the tennis courts is enough cover for daytime cruising, the area by the tennis courts is best for night time action, as it’s out in the open. Here, you better come correct or be prepared for a stare down with scathing judgment.

Just across the street from “Gaybucks” (see above) and just north of the central runway that is Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood’s 24-Hour Fitness is practically a local landmark with a storied history that includes more than a few tales about the notorious sexual peccadilloes and indiscretions that once took place regularly behind its doors.

The well-stocked wine and liquor aisle is particularly meeting-friendly. With gardening, renovation and DIY as an icebreaker, this builder’s emporium is a fertile meeting ground for guys with a penchant for power tools, sweaty conversations and nailing things. However, if you are checked in at Vaseline Alley on Foursquare or spotted knocking on the window of a parked car in the shadows, your deniability will suffer a significant loss of plausibility.

Nothing like choosing between a Sancerre and a Viognier to spark a conversation.

Some call it seedy. The action then follows in the theaters…or so I’ve been told because I’ve never admitted to having ever been inside the theater.
Crunch’s arrival in WeHo was a game-changer.

Others call it tragic. Ab Attack? At this Home Depot, there’s a good chance he’s doing both.

Spectacular city views and celebrity sightings aside, the 160-acre Runyon Canyon Park, located right in the heart of Hollywood, is a wonderland of shirtless boys seeking other shirtless boys. Look out for your first newsletter in your inbox soon!
