Ok, so you will not believe this as long as we have had this blog and as much as we love NYC this is our first pride to cover. We were in a tough decision this year because it was either London or NYC and there was word it would be canceled across the pond but then it was on then off and now its on and looks rather big but we decided NYC and hope we made the correct decision. There is so much to do in NYC and so little time jam-packed in a small weekend with pool parties, roof top parties, and new club nights that are premiering. We also want to hit up the UN-promoted clubs and bars in the gay scene (you know without the big names involved).
We have decided to start out the pride week at two hot spots for Tuesday night and for some reason we are looking more forward to this night than some of the others. Why? It is Trick Tuesday and Twink Tuesday. How can it get better than that? Trick Tuesday at the Cock and Twink Tuesdays at Splash.
Thursday Night is the debut of the Q Thursdays at Marquee Nightclub located at 289 10th Ave, New York, New York 10001. We also plan on checking out XL Nightclub to see what they replaced 20-Something Thursday’s with or will they keep it the same 19 to enter party. Both events could be really hot this night!
Friday Night
Tracy Young is bringing her iconic Miami party, GENESIS to New York for the first time ever for Gay Pride. She has partnered with Live Nation for this mega-event that will take place at Irving Plaza on June 28th. She’ll split her duties in the DJ booth with NY DJ legend, Tedd Patterson. For 10 years, GENESIS has been one of hottest yearly events in South Beach – it is more than just a Circuit Party, rather it is an experience that draws people from all over the world. June 28th @ Irving Plaza : Irving Plaza : 17 Irving Pl New York, NY 10003. Tickets can be purchased for $50. We know Madonna has been premiering her new DVD for MDNA and is running some contest for someone to train for a workout promo so who knows maybe she will stop by and say hello to her close friend Tracy while she is in town?!
Friday Nights are normally Frat Night at XL Nightclub which compete with Penthaus Fridays. We may stop by all of these to see where the hottest dance beats are and where the boys are most of all!
Saturday Night
The ONLY Saturday Night Gay Pride Event Returns to Roseland Ballroom! Saturday June 29th WORK Presents ULTIMATE CHAMPIONS Featuring Chus & Ceballos, Isaac Escalante, Eddie Martinez + Special Guest DJs! This is a tribute to DJ Peter Rauhofer and all of WORK benefits “Fuck Cancer”. Tickets can be purchased at wantickets.com/nycpride.
