Taimi x NYC Pride: For All of Us
Pride in New York is a feeling.
It’s the text that turns into a last-minute plan. It’s meeting friends at a spot you’ve
never been to before. It’s wandering through the city and somehow ending up
exactly where you’re supposed to be. It’s the energy that takes over the streets, the
conversations that happen between strangers, and the sense that, for a moment, the
whole city feels connected by something bigger than itself.
This year, Taimi is partnering with NYC Pride for the fourth time, helping more
LGBTQIA+ people discover events, venues, and community spaces across the city
through Taimi In-Person and Taimi Places.
The timing couldn’t be better. NYC Pride’s 2026 theme, “For All of Us,” is a reminder
that Pride belongs to every queer person looking for connection, whether that’s at
the Pride March, PrideFest, a community gathering, or a local venue that feels like
home.
Because while the headline events bring millions of people together, some of the
best Pride moments happen in between.
They’re found in neighbourhood bookstores. At a salsa night where nobody knows
your name yet. Over coffee with someone you met five minutes ago. In the queer-
owned businesses, community spaces, and local favourites that give New York its
character long after Pride Month ends. Sometimes they happen unexpectedly, in
places you were not planning to go, with people you were not expecting to meet.
That’s why, as part of our collaboration with NYC Pride, we’re bringing a collection of
community-loved venues into Taimi Places. From Astoria Bookshop and Dave’s
Lesbian Bar to Caveat, Benji’s Buns, Brooklyn Brewery, and other LGBTQIA+-
friendly spaces across the city, the goal is simple: make it easier for people to
discover places where community already exists.
These spaces matter because they create opportunities for people to feel seen in
everyday life. Not every meaningful Pride experience happens on a stage or inside a
major event. Sometimes it’s as simple as finding a café where you feel comfortable
staying for hours, a comedy night where you instantly relax, or a bookstore where
you finally see your own experiences reflected on the shelves.
The collaboration is powered by Taimi In-Person, a feature designed to help people
move from scrolling to showing up.
Whether someone is looking for an official NYC Pride event, a local meetup, a dance
night, or a place to spend an afternoon with friends, Taimi In-Person helps surface
opportunities to connect in real life. Instead of wondering what’s happening nearby,
users can discover experiences that match their interests and location directly within
the app.
That visibility matters.
For smaller organizers, it means getting events in front of people who genuinely want
to participate. For venues, it creates new ways to reach local queer audiences. For
organizations like NYC Pride, it helps bring together a city-wide celebration that
stretches far beyond a single weekend. It also helps newcomers feel less intimidated
about joining in, especially those attending Pride for the first time or looking for
spaces that feel more personal and community driven.
Community doesn’t happen in one place. It happens everywhere.
It happens at the March. It happens at PrideFest. It happens in a packed venue, a
quiet bookstore, a neighbourhood café, and every space where LGBTQIA+ people
can show up as themselves.
That’s what makes this partnership special.
As New York celebrates Pride 2026, Taimi is helping people discover more than just
events. We’re helping them discover the spaces, experiences, and connections that
make Pride feel like it was made for them.
Because Pride isn’t just something you attend. It’s something you find.
