A DREAM IS A WISH OUR HEARTS MAKE

We hold a Disney night once a month at my event Broadway Mondays at Hardware Bar. Some think this is because Judy Darling, Sutton Lee Seymour and I love Disney. This is not an untrue statement. But that’s not the only reason. We also have a once-monthly Disney party because it is our most popular theme yet. The record-breaking crowds shove their way through the doors to belt along with “Part of Your World,” “Let...

Strip Down, Party On

New York Nightlife’s Sexual Revolution History (or at least my Facebook newsfeed) tells me that when the weather grows warmer, many of NYC’s gay relationships hit the rocks as we exchange our sweaters and jackets for torn-up tank tops and barely-there bathing suits. Conversely, I’ve seen that when the snow starts falling, gay men will fly together into unions and forge relationships to keep each other warm through the wintry months. Except, interestingly, that does...

New Year: Same Me

I FOUND MYSELF AT A SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE WHEN THE CLOCK STRUCK MIDNIGHT AND THE BALL DROPPED ON NEW YEAR’S EVE. THIS MARKS THE FIRST YEAR I’VE KICKED OFF AS A SINGLE GAY MAN IN OVER 14 YEARS. WOW.  After stealing a New Year’s kiss from a friend, I went to the street to call my parents and brother to wish them a happy 2016. When that was done, I just stood there and thought, silently,...

Have you been at a party VJ’d by OhRicky? Most likely! He’s all over the city, and has been spinning videos on the big screens of legendary clubs and bars since 1994, when he answered an ad in a gay magazine for a video jockey gig at Breadstix, a club in Forest Hills. Since that gig, OhRicky has hopped up, down and all around the tri-state area, bringing his video mixing skills to countless clubs...

A Tale of Two Bars: Hell’s Kitchen’s Newest Boozy Additions

Some may say that Hell’s Kitchen has too many gay bars, but let’s be honest: New venues are something that we are constantly, desperately on the hunt for. Well, we’re in luck. NYC’s hottest gayborhood has just given glorious birth to two brand-new booze and beats dispensaries. EVERBODY RISE What becomes a legend most? Well, you can certainly ask the three nightlife legends behind the brand new Rise Bar that question. John Blair and his...

Justin Luke

Let’s start with a truth: my real name is not Justin Luke. Well, not entirely. My legal name is actually Justin Ross Luke Zirilli-Buchbinder-Mares. Maybe you, too, can understand why I shortened it. This marks my sixth year playing in the Monster Playground that is gay New York City nightlife. And what a journey it’s been. 2015 is also my tenth year living in Manhattan. A decade ago I moved into a small studio on...
