Trips: Queer Travel Stories

Metropolitan's Thursday lineup shifts week to week — sometimes it's a DJ set, sometimes live entertainment, sometimes something else entirely. The best way to know what's on is to call ahead or check their socials, but you can count on the garden being open, the crowd being welcoming, and the vibe being exactly what a neighborhood bar should be.

Miss Katie hosts an open-mic night for travelers with stories to tell. Bring your best queer travel memory—the disaster, the romance, the unexpected friendship, the moment that changed you—and share it with a room of people who get why those stories matter. No cover, no pressure, just real stories from real trips. Call the bar if you want to read.

DJ Manila Ice spins an evening devoted to one pop icon at a time—think Aaliyah, Kylie, Xtina, Beyoncé, Janet, Robyn, Mariah, Missy, Peaches, Donna Summer, Carly, Grace Jones, and more. Videos flood the screens, their music owns the night, and each month brings a new diva to celebrate. Free entry, no pretense, just pure devotion to the singers who matter.

Drag Race All Stars 11 Finale Viewing Party with Raven

A monthly dance night where gender expression is a non-issue and self-expression is the whole point. Dress however feels right to you—glitter on that beard, full drag, whatever—and hit the floor with a rotating lineup of guest performers and hosts. It's the kind of night where you show up as yourself and everyone gets it.

Sapphic Creative Writing Group NYC

6:30 PM

The All Stars finale hits different when you're watching it with a room full of people who actually care — and even better when Raven's in the house. This is the kind of viewing party where the energy builds with every lip sync, the crowd loses it at the right moments, and you're surrounded by people who speak the language of the show. Come early, stay late, and let the drama unfold.

6:30 PM

A writing space built for sapphic, trans, and nonbinary writers who want to create, share, and get real feedback. Come with a project you're working on or just show up ready to write — either way, you'll get writing prompts, community, and the kind of support that actually helps you finish things. Meet other queer writers doing the work.

Dirty Little Secret

Rockbar's hottest Friday night brings the heat with a packed dance floor, live entertainment, and a crowd that knows how to have a good time. High-energy vibes, killer drinks, and the kind of night that keeps people coming back — this is what downtown nightlife should feel like.

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 11 Viewing Party

A Friday night gathering at Brooklyn Community Pride Center where the LGBTQ+ community comes together for music, movement, and connection. Whether you're looking to dance, socialize, or just be around your people, this is the kind of event that reminds you why community spaces matter — casual, welcoming, and genuinely fun.

Gather for the live Friday night screening of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 11 on a massive silver screen — gag-worthy runways in full glory. Free popcorn and Stoli specials before the episode, then stick around for post-show performances that keep the energy high. It's the kind of night where the whole room is invested in every lip sync and elimination.
