Happy Gay Pride, New York City!  Sunday is the official Gay Pride Day in Manhattan featuring an elaborate and colorful parade down 5th Avenue and topped off with an over-the-top dance on the pier in Chelsea.

Please take a moment and act with class while you're... Read Full Story

NIGHTLIFE While one venue was closing its door, many others were keeping them open extra late on Friday night as Gay Pride weekend kicked off in New York City. As nearly 3am, the management at Club Rush (known for its twinkie parties) was still regulating the crowd outside and clearing the line off Sixth Avenue. Our friends over at the new hot spot, Trip (formerly Elevate), were packed with papis from Louis Loca's insane Uncut Friday party where Reina performed.  The place was packed with... Read Full Story

BREAKING NEWS Here's some interesting breaking nightlife news out of Manhattan. Long-time gay hang out, View Bar, has closed its doors. This photo, ripped from former View promoter Jonny Mack's Facebook page, opens a can of worms. Why would a New York gay establishment with such a long shelf life closed down during Gay Pride without warning? View Bar had a highly promoted rundown planned for the weekend, but that all seems to be out the door... literally. We've got a team of... Read Full Story

SHOT OF THE DAY It's Gay Pride Week in New York City, so the Village Voice has released their annual "Queer Issue".  The funny thing is that it features three of the guys who are followed by the "Jersey Shore" cameras and consequently identify as straight men. The folks over at the village voice made Vinny Gaudagnino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, and especially Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino look as gay as possible in photos like this one below as a chance to talk about Jersey Guidos living on the...

An earthquake in Toronto, Canada has evidently reached a broad spread with vibrations being reported across New York State including Rochester, the Hamptons and New York City. The United States Geological Survey in Colorado, stated, “There was an earthquake up in the Western Quebec seismic zone which runs in a band right along the border just north of Ottawa and it looks like it was widely felt.

by Jonathan Warman A room like Feinstein’s at the Regency tests the mettle of a singer; some of the most powerful singers of our time – Christine Ebersole, Betty Buckley, Ann Hampton Callaway, Marilyn Maye and Feinstein himself – have done major shows here, and it's also where the legendary Rosemary Clooney did her last New York shows, as did Kitty Carlisle Hart. Taking that stage must be a little intimidating. If Alan Cumming is intimidated, he sure doesn't show it. He is easily one of the... Read Full Story

by Jonathan Warman Nunsense creator Dan Goggin more or less stumbled on the idea of writing a comic musical about nuns in the early 1980s and it's clear that he has a knack for making affectionate fun of the sisters. And that's really all Nunsense is, affectionate, harmless, silly fun – diverting, for sure, but not a millimeter deeper than that. The show follows five nuns from the Little Sisters of Hoboken, who put on a benefit for burial costs when one of their own, a terrible cook named... Read Full Story
