South pavement is wider than North but both hot cruisy. Observations on my regular visits: Late night dog walkers with hook-up agenda; 43rd St. residential night owls greeting passersby; scantilly clad residents (sans underwear) going to and from apartment (in the height of winter!); after party crowd looking for more.

Best time
4AM thru 7AM.
Crowd
43rd St. hotties, college and gym types, Port Authority working boys, suits…

The guide

Where exactly

All trains to Port Authority then, "follow the yellow brick road". Cross street: 9th Avenue

Cruisiest spot: Both sidewalks on 43rd between 9th and 10th see most of the action.

When to go

4AM thru 7AM. Especially hot and cruisy with near guaranteed hook-ups Fri/Sat/Sun.

Etiquette

Casual strolling up and down both sidewalks, eye contact, smile, suggestive nods and/or greetings. Pause and turn toward your interest. Discrete self crotch brushing.

Nudity: Discreet mutual grope and show but best chance of getting naked is to win an invitation to a resident's nearby apartment.

Safety

Often, guys wait for the other guy to make the first move--this results in missed opportunities, fellas. If at first you don't succeed, try and try again! This area seems to be cruisy throught the day, however, remember it is a residental and commercial area so discretion is advised (duh). South side pavement has a small park which closes at midnight. Security patrols this area. They are usually hands-off.
