Hey sailor!This week marks New York City's annual Fleet Week, when our nation's brave and honorable boys and girls get to partay. City establishments have always beenwelcoming to visiting sailors with deals, sales, and free drinks. And with this year's historic repeal ofDon't Ask Don't Tell, some of the Navy's newly out and proud enlistees can really do it up in NYC.Here is a list of fun bars, nightclubs and to-dos to hit up this weekend for some beefcake fun. (And, for the ladies, we also recommend Henrietta Hudson's, The Cubby Hole, the Wild and Free Boat Ride, Hot Rabbit at Nowhere Bar, Plan B at One Last Shag, Girlnation at Bread and Tulips and Fusion at Club Insomnia.)

Friday night:

XL's Fleet Week Party (512 West 42nd St.)

This Hells Kitchen super club is having its very own FleetWeek celebration. This party will surely give these Navy boys the gay discoexperience they certainly don't get at sea.  

Do Ask, Do Tell at La Bottega (363 West 16th St.)

The Maritime Hotel's La Bottega is serving up special Do Ask, Do Tell Cocktails (stoli peach and orange juice) all weekend (and the hotel has specials, too. Rooms are $99 for any active duty sailors in uniform during Fleet Week -- marked down from their usual $375-a-night rate. Hot damn!)

Top Gun screening on the Intrepid. (700 West 46th Street)

The gayest military movie of all time shown on New York's mightiest vessel? Yes.Please. Info here.

Saturday night:

East Village Bar-Hopping

Is there anything better than a good oldfashioned bar crawl? Especially when it includes packs of young studs in tight uniforms roamingthe street? Our suggestions: Eastern Bloc, Boiler Room, and of course The Cock!

Sunday night:

The Eagle Beer Blast (554 West 28th St.)

For the sailor who is also a leather enthusiast, a visit toThe Eagle's legendary beer bust on their roof top is a must. Military guys may get a chance togive some orders for a change. Eagle patrons really do love a man in uniform.
