The Urban Bear Street Fair in the Meatpacking District (slide show)

NYC's gay bears were out of hibernation last weekend. In addition to beer blasts and dance parties, the big boys strutted their stuff in the daylight hours at the annual Bear Fair. Beyond the usual street-fair fare (food trucks, vendors) the Bear Fair offered top-notch performers, including beefy rapper Big Dipper and spooky-sexy storyteller Dandy Darkly, and tunes courtesy of another woodland creature, DJ Lady Bunny.
