WHERE TO GO IN QUEENS

Club Evolution After a complete makeover a few years ago, Club Evolution is better than ever. From the main dance floor to Enigma Lounge, Evolution is the place to be. Revolution Saturdays at Evolution is the hottest Latin dance party in all of New York City; things really heat up into the early hours of Sunday morning. With regular dancers, fashion shows, pageants, hookah and regular special events and parties, Club Evolution continues to reinvent...

GETTING STEAMY

If you’ve ever read Get Out! magazine, then you know what we are all about: urging New York’s gays to get off…their computers, their couches, their asses…and get out into the venues that make this the most exciting city in the world for our community. Few places embody that notion more than The East Side Club and the West Side Club—two of the city’s “social and relaxation clubs” forvgay men—which shun the era of Manhunt.netvand...

Dina Serves Heart-y Deliciousness

Whips ‘80S Classic Into Pride Anthem A staple among NYC’s velvet rope scene – alongside friends Amanda Lepore and Bianca Del Rio – Dina Delicious’ name celebrates her pleasing curves. “My friends call me Double Dee. I added Delicious because I just am!” She has undergone dozens of surgeries to transform herself into the bodacious art form she is today. “You know when you go to the doctor and they have you fill out the...

Sir Ari Gold

An unimaginably long 20 years passed after the first wave of superstar acts like George Michael, Elton John and Boy George came out of the closet with barely a sign of any new openly gay musical artists following in the path they left behind. Devastating factors like HIV/AIDS, homophobia and the struggle for equal rights might explain this absence of representation in the music industry, but Sir Ari Gold has never been interested in playing...

Phi Phi O’Hara

Phi Phi O’Hara walked into the Bunk House with her adorable boyfriend Mike an hour or so early. She was totally no “drama,” incredibly regular, so willing to mingle with the crowd, and just having a good time. I enjoyed interviewing her and appreciated her openness. I loved her quickness and sense of humor. Phi Phi O’Hara was runner up to Sharon Needles in Season 4 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. She was seen every week...

UNCLE TURNS SIX!

Not far from Grand Central Station in Midtown East, Uncle Charlie’s is in a part of town known more for its office buildings than its nightlife. That has worked in the piano bar and lounge’s favor: In its six years it has become a hugely popular after-work spot among the area’s flourishing gay white-collar scene. A packed happy hour and captivating entertainment keep the guys around all night long. Located on the second floor of...

RuPaul’s Drag Race Winner Jinkx Monsoon

Jinkx, congratulations! Has the nonstop whirlwind of being crowned “America’s Next Drag Superstar” been exhausting? Thank you so much! It’s not that bad. I’m always tired, I’m used to being sleepy! You don’t really hear too much about Seattle’s drag scene. How would you describe Seattle’s drag? It’s wonderfully diverse, from pageant queens to dirtbag drag queens, from burlesque queens to stand-up comedy queens, we really do have something for everyone out in Seattle. The...

Peter  Rauhofer (1965-2013)

Peter Rauhofer was a legend, who along with superstar DJs like Junior Vasquez and Jonathan Peters completely defined the era of the large dance floor and late-night parties. His death last week sent clubland reeling, and with good reason. His WORK! parties continue to be legendary, and his remixes, while not as frequent as they used to be, still are spectacular productions. When I asked the community for special thoughts or memories, the response was...
