Who would have thought Sherry Vine, queen of snark, would make a stellar psychiatrist? Vine stars in “Welcome to New York” as Dr. Kitty Rosenblatt, the straight-talking and frisky psychiatrist, and is so convincing in her role that it may just as well be her real-life alter ego. “Welcome” chronicles the experiences of a series of newbie New Yorkers who, while coming to terms with big-city life, enlist Rosenblatt for advice. Apart from Vine, the...

“I didn’t know that I was going to come out that morning” – Jared Max, ESPN New York Radio Sportscaster Jared Max, host of “Maxed Out in the Morning” on ESPN New York radio, thought it would be an ordinary morning when he arrived at work one day last year.

Eats: Arriba Arriba
Christo WhistonOct 11, 2011
Who doesn’t love Arriba Arriba? One of our favorite New York restaurants has accomplished the impossible: standing out in the crowd of Mexican restaurants in Queens. The Sunnyside flagship, one of three Arriba Arriba locations (the others are in Hell’s Kitchen and the Upper East Side), has become a necessary stop on the borough’s thriving gay nightlife circuit. Although it is not touted as a gay venue per se, it has become a second home...

Grindr Exposed
Christo WhistonJul 30, 2011
With 2.3 million users in almost every country in the world, Grindr is by far the most popular networking app for gay men. Joel Simkhai, CEO of Grindr, says it has revolutionized the way guys meet and encourages them to “get out of the house.” Can we call you the gay Mark Zuckerburg? [laughs] I wouldn’t call myself that. I do think we’ve got a similar desire to help people connect in a new way,...
Posh Bar & Lounge
Christo WhistonMar 28, 2011
They say Posh is a bar for everybody. It’s one of those no-attitude places where everyone feels welcome. The service is excellent, the drinks (and prices) are great, and the nightly entertainment keeps us coming back for more. It’s a neighborhood bar, where “everyone knows your name,” as much as it is one of New York’s top gay hot spots. It feels like family at Posh, in a comforting way. (Not that we like to...
