Our favorite Broadway cutie-content creator-travel enthusiast, Andrew Keenan-Bolger, dashed off for another getaway, and wouldn’t you know GayCities was just one step click behind. Andrew never gate-keeps his experiences, but rather wants to share with fellow fun-loving, travel-obsessed queers and allies.

A few weeks ago, he revealed that he had no birthday plans (except shaving that frosting off that already hairless face).

But, lo and behold, his friends planned a weekend getaway to Montreal for four days of “eating, drinking, sightseeing, gay sh*t, , and laughing nonstop with my besties.”

Some of Andrew’s top picks from part one of his photo dump include:

Limencello spritzes at Terrasse Nelligan

“Hot girl dinner” at Bazart

Andrew’s second installment was more eating and dashing about town (including a meal at the famed Joe Beef). What’s his secret to single-digit body fat?

Spa day on Bota Bota, spa-sur-l’eau

Drinks in a Gilded Age mansion

As a final hoorah, Andrew tipped his hat to the group’s accommodations for the week, Hotel William Gray.
